On Thursday night I attended Mark Fox's opening at Robert Miller Gallery in Chelsea.
The work on view is whimsical but also painstakingly rendered. Pieces simplistic in theory become complex through the layers of meaning created in the overlapping of cut-out text and doodles. Words take on and lose meaning as they hang in mid air or weave through other seemingly non-related text. How does each word relate? Is there a hidden message behind each piece?
The idea of creating painted sculpture completely fascinated and inspired me. Seeing a return to painting and being able to get a sense of the artist's hand in each piece was so refreshing.
A definite must see.
