March 02 - April 02,2020
The South Texas College Art Department presents “Foal,” an art exhibition featuring works by artist, Sarah Fox. The exhibit opens on March 2, and will be available to view Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. until April 2, 2020, at the Art Department Gallery located on the Pecan Campus, building B-103.
Sarah Fox depicts horses in her artwork to access freedom from gender norms. Although the portrayal of a horse is often genderless, they may be defined as strong and serviceable while also being prized for their beauty and grace. In this exhibition, Fox questions the pressures and constraints that are placed on little boys early in their life. Using horse hybrids opens a space for Fox to pose tough questions about masculinity and the inherent nature of being a boy. The collages, cyanotypes, and animations that fill this exhibition are a result of these questions.
Sarah Fox attended the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland in 2004 and earned a BA from Southwestern University in 2005. Fox then earned an MFA from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2015.
On Thursday, March 12 from 5:30-7:30PM, a reception will be held at the STC Art Department Gallery, building B-103. Fox will be present during the reception. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.
