Steven Cox's 'Language Barrier' at Galleria Annarumma, Naples
Steven Cox (Aberdeen, 1986) presents a series of new works at Galleria Annarumma in Naples in an exhibition titled 'Language Barrier,' on view until December 10, 2016. The paintings explore the democratization of codes, hybridization, and contemporary linguistic babelism through tight horizontal lines broken by unstable, vibrant chromatic modulation. Cox's work reflects on the body of painting and the support as a diaphragm, a space to be crossed with imagination, where depth and the sublime are rediscovered. His horizontal lyricism transforms time into pictorial matter, metaphorically cutting the gallery and releasing plural visions and aesthetic murmurs.
