The Writing on the Wall
George Fox presents his third solo exhibition at Harbour House, featuring 60 new pictures including oils, acrylics, mixed media, collage and objet trouvé.
There will be an Informal Gallery Talk with the artist at 12 noon on Thursday 17 June. There's no need to book, and admission is free.
Much of George's current work is based on observations made during visits over the last three years to several European cities, including Florence, Venice, Brussels, Rome, Lille, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Paris. Keen to look beyond the veneer of the tourist trail, he has been particularly interested and inspired by the symbolic, prophetic and aesthetic nature of man's interaction with his own built environment. From advertising hoardings to public signage and graffiti, man has left his mark both by design and by chance on walls, pavements and interiors.
More generally, George's work relies upon poignant observation of the human condition and its consequences, and is concerned with a personal view of life in all its forms and frailties.
