Fox Daniels, SJ Fuerst and Tomas Hed – are the artists behind Arthall’s current exhibition – Sophistikós [1].
In a `Meet the Artists’ event, they will explain their pieces on display in the gallery and share with those present their points of view and ideas about “what is art?”
Everyone is welcome to attend this evening event, on Friday, the 1st of November, starting at 7:30 pm at Arthall.
Artist Fox Daniels, is half Belgian, half Berber and lives and works in Gozo. She is part of the new generation of the CoBrA Movement and Outsider Artists.
She said that she works with total freedom without the limitations of the established rules within the Industry of Art and Academies. She has participated in several group exhibitions and shows around Asia and Europe.
Her first solo exhibition was in Hong Kong in 2012, which made quite a stir in the Hong Kong press and throughout China.
Fox Daniel’s works can be found in corporate boardrooms and private residencies of celebrities and distinguished individuals around the world.
Born in Connecticut in 1987, SJ Fuerst lives and works in Gozo. Fuerst was named by British GQ as “one of the 10 best artists working today.”
Fuerst’s work is beautiful and funny. Drawing from fashion, pop art, and contemporary culture, Fuerst creates a surreal world where the animals are inflatable and the women feel so real you expect them to wink at you.
The artist studied painting at the Pratt Institute of Art and Design in New York, at the Florence Academy of Art and the London Atelier of Representational Art, graduating in 2010. Fuerst’s can be found in private collections all over the world.
Tomas Hed, originally from Sweden, lives in Gozo, where he lets his imagination and creativity go wild. Here he has found his place to exploit his talents: composing music, writing and, of course, painting.
He worked for many years as an art director in Stockholm, having his studio in Gamla Stan, the old part of the city.
As a seeking youth, Tomas developed in an artistic atmosphere, living in a community with other artists. It’s impossible to be indifferent to his creations. The spirit of his art is inspired by an indomitable character, always challenging values, or “bubbles” as he calls them, of our daily life.
Arthall is located at 8, triq Agius de Soldanis, Victoria. Opening hours are: Monday/Tuesday: closed Wednesday/ Thursday/Friday/Saturday: 10-1 and 5-7 Sunday: 10-12.
