About the Item
Three spotted leopards in dynamic, powerful poses are dramatic and meticulously painted, layered beneath an intricately detailed map of Mumbai, India in bright shimmering gold. In this contemporary oil painting with mica powder, Francine Fox's excellent use of material allow her to blend multiple images together, creating a seamless image with layers of narrative complexity.
This painting looks at the leopard population that moves between the Sanjay Gahndi National Park and the streets of the surrounding city of Mumbai. Leopards are one of the most adaptable of big cats and have found ways to sustain themselves through hunting feral dogs in this highly populated urban area. This painting was not only inspired by research and conservation data on urban wildlife but also connects to the saying “a leopard cannot change its spots”.
Francine Fox works in many mediums including oil paint, watercolor, gouache, graphite and ink to produce striking and unsettling works of great beauty and psychological complexity. Fox incorporates art historical references, organically composed diagrams and personal and cultural vocabularies into her work.
"I strive to produce work that is at once both striking and unsettling and intend the compilation of my formal and conceptual elements to parallel and reveal the intricacies of gray areas between seemingly dissonant traits.
The gray areas I depict most frequently can be classified as the shared liminal compartments in Venn Diagrams, the middle sections along continuums or circumstances when the correct answer is both yes and no. While it is easier to think and understand in terms of binaries, these types of thought processes tend to oversimplify. The murky places in between are often harder to comprehend, and yet they are also more relatable and interesting because of their complex, confusing, and sometimes unresolved nature. My goal is not to clarify gray areas; rather, I hope to lure viewers into contemplation of the causes of the wonder and discomfort surrounding liminals.
My work frequently returns to the gray areas between the themes of physical and metaphysical, evidence and faith, chaos and order, and identity philosophies rooted in either individualism or collectivism. My paintings and drawings create records of the perceived significance and beauty of these transitional spaces through the mediums of graphite, charcoal, watercolor, gouache, oil paint and digital painting. Within my body of work, the imagery includes figures, gently anthropomorphized animals, traditional and contemporary semiotics, and depictions of invisible forces through modified and invented charting symbols. My influences range from Walton Ford, Martin Wittfooth, Ian Ingram, Steven Assael and Giacomo Brunelli to modern research and journalism concerning zoology, theology, and behavioral and social sciences."
