Fox Hysen: Cherry

March 30 - May 12,2024

From Basket Books & Art: "Fox Hysen was born in the Bay Area, California and currently lives and works in Norfolk, Connecticut. She is full-time faculty at the LeRoy E. Hoffberger School of Painting, the graduate program at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. Her work explores the relationship between composition and bodily perception. The conventions of landscape, the linearity of writing, the abstract space of the grid and sensuality of organic and built forms are drawn in combination with her style of direct, gestural mark-making. Hysen’s playful and open-ended practice manifests in a variety of different types of painterly objects. The raw materiality of these objects are experienced in tension with their organization into readable spaces. Awards include the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in 2022 and the Tournesol Award at the Headland’s Center for the Arts in 2016. She earned her MFA from Yale University (2015) and BFA from NYU (2006). Most recently she has shown her work with Below Grand gallery in New York. "
