Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract painting features a bold and vibrant color palette, with prominent reds, oranges, and yellows. The overall composition is dynamic, with curving, overlapping shapes and gestural brushstrokes that create a sense of movement and energy. The subject matter appears to be a loose, organic form that suggests a natural or biomorphic reference, though it remains ambiguous and open to interpretation. The artist's distinctive style combines elements of expressionism and abstraction, employing a textured, impasto technique that adds depth and materiality to the work. This piece seems to evoke a sense of primal, elemental forces, inviting the viewer to engage with its raw, visceral qualities. ...

Artist

Alex Foxton

B.1980, British

Alex Foxton’s painting takes traditional images of masculinity, deconstructs their archetypes and reveals their complexity and ambiguity. Alex Foxton explores the personal history and humanity of the heroes or mythical figures that inhabit our western culture, painting a new narrative in the hollow of the history known to all. The figures depicted are stretched, torn between a calm face and an expressive body, tortuous or ecstatic, underlining the tension of each character. Alex tries to get rid of the objective and dominant gaze that shapes these virile male figures to reveal an embodied vision and to let a desire for these bodies come to life. ...

Various Small Fires

Los Angeles, Seoul, Dallas

Various Small Fires (Los Angeles /Dallas /Seoul) began as a series of conversations with artists and curators in Esther Kim Varet’s Venice Beach kitchen while working on her doctoral dissertation. VSF debuted in Hollywood as an official gallery in 2015 with a roster of artists and its current Johnston MarkLee Architects-designed building. The Hollywood gallery contains three exhibition spaces, a unique sound corridor, and an outdoor gallery. VSF’s exhibition program explores several curatorial lines: climate, equality, and an international conversation. The gallery is known for offering artists debut shows, creating intergenerational conversations among the artists on its roster, and solidifying artists’ legacies within art history. In 2019, VSF opened a second location in the Hannam neighbourhood of Seoul, South Korea, followed recently this Spring by VSFs third outpost in Dallas, Texas. While Varet has very personal connections to both locations, they are also superlative art communities. These expansions emphasise the gallery’s commitment to innovation and global dialogue in the twenty-first century. In 2021, VSF became a member of the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA). ...
