Belinda Fox: Back to the Start
July 2013
Back to the Start is the latest body of work by the Australian-born artist Belinda Fox, currently living in Singapore.
“Having recently moved to Singapore this exhibition is very much about new beginnings, entry points, being an outsider – standing back, observing,” Fox has written of this current selection of works.
“The lotus images featured in a number of the works feel like abstract mirrored gateways to me – to unknown places. The web like design that hovers, binds and traverses most images is a form that goes back to work I produced nearly 20 years ago. It symbolises my foundations as an artist and it has shifted, grown and changed to be part of my future. It is a bridge, a stranglehold, or maybe a pathway…
“The setting is based around the Kerala backwaters in India. A beautiful, mysterious place currently under major stress with environmental issues. This ideal landscape as a tourist has an undertow of corruption, overuse, pollution, and risks of extinction. But nonetheless remains beautiful and unique.
“My work stems from the personal and hovers between humanitarian and global issues. I feel that it always strives to find beauty in the most unlikely places.”
Belinda Fox: Back to the Start shows at Scott Livesey Galleries, 909A High St, Armadale, from August 3. The exhibition will be opened on Saturday August 3 by The Honourable Paul Guest OAM QC.
