Canvas HOTEL dallas, JULY 2019

SEMOSMAULDIN | DALLAS, TX

Lori Fox is best known for her abstract geometric shapes and lyrical watercolor paintings of faces. In “Scope”, Lori blends these structured and free-form worlds together to explore the nature of light-source-sun and shadow-reflection-moon with symbols of the “veil” that separates us from seeing fully. Spiritual energy and personal themes are infused in the work but do not dominate the landscape, allowing the viewer to find meaning in each piece based on their own experiences.

Source & reflection, JULY 2017

JEN MAULDIN GALLERY | DALLAS, TX

Since January 2017 artist Lori Fox has been living on the road, making her studio wherever inspiration was found. She spent time in Marfa, Texas exploring the concepts of light while being able to go behind the scenes at the McDonald Observatory to talk with researchers and drive the 3rd largest telescope on earth. She did further research and made studios in New York, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Spain, and France before arriving to us for the show. In Source & Reflection, Lori blends highly structured and free-form worlds together to uncover the nature of light-source-sun and shadow-reflection-moon. Further exploration goes into the human eye’s ability to perceive objects within a limited scope of light. Spiritual energy and personal themes are infused in the work but do not dominate the landscape, allowing the viewer to find meaning in each piece based on their own experiences.

In the second and third installments of the Totem series, Brooklyn-based artist Lori Fox introduces architectural forms to challenge the free forms of watercolor and also support the central totem structure.

TOTEMS 004

In this fourth installment of the Totem series, Brooklyn-based artist Lori Fox begins to effortlessly blend architectural forms into the free forms of watercolor which continue to support the central totem structure.

PRAYING THE HOURS LETTER PROJECT

2012-2013

In 2010, Director Lauralee Farrer approached Lori Fox and Denise Louise Klitsie about production design for a new film called Praying The Hours. It is a spiritual film based on a religious concept of the canonical prayer hours which represents the “seasons” of life as well as the “seasons” of the day. The film artistically dances between clock-Kronos time and deep-kairos time. Full of inspiration, Fox created a letter project and mailed them to 12 crew members every few months. In 2022 this project went on to be the album covers for the extraordinary soundtrack by LoLo Meares. You can listen to the albums, one for each hour, here.
