Kindly note: PIUS FOX is represented at Christian Lethert gallery in Cologne since CONRADS retired from activ day-to-day busniness Pius Fox often stacked one above the other various paint layers. Meet geometric or free abstract shapes on tachistic color patches with picturesque ductus, moving brush marks enter into dialogue with elaborate figurative forms. But rarely more than two contradictory moments are brought together in an image. This game with opposing elements continues in the paint. Subtle picturesque areas of color are superimposed and pierced by a straight line drawn with the pencil lines, grid areas or ornamental elements.
