Peter Fox's 'Blind Trust' Exhibition at Front Room Gallery Reveals New Vulnerability Through Dripping Paint Technique
From May 22 to June 21, 2015, Front Room Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, showcased Peter Fox's exhibition titled 'Blind Trust.' This collection of paintings signified a shift from his earlier style, incorporating white spaces since December 2014. The vibrant, melting ribbons of color symbolize imagined nations or emotional experiences, with the paint's thinning resulting in varying widths. For a decade, Fox has honed his drip technique, employing a syringe-like instrument for precision. The first room featured a compact grid that limited interaction, while the second room displayed four larger works, highlighting his expanded artistic vision. The standout piece, HERALDIC (2015), measures over nine feet and is considered the most rewarding of the exhibition.
