What do you do with a 6ft x 10ft painting?
If you're John Cox you create from everything around you and you give your gestures room to breathe, despite their breadth. You fill in life's blank spaces. You create something that becomes an object in itself, something no one has seen before.
"I'm trying to create new things," Cox told Arts&Culture, comparing the process by which he creates his large scale works to discovering a naturally formed object like a piece of driftwood on the beach.
"But the thing is it's not a representation of something else; it's just an object. It's an arbitrary object that...is not meant to be representative of something else. It's supposed to be what it is."
Cox's show "Large Paintings" will open officially at the Central Bank on Thursday, Oct. 11.
The show features works from both the artist's collection and a private collection, created between 1998 and 2004. Cox was offered a space that was available in the gallery's calendar and thought about how he could give context to his work.
