3 TO SEE AT FELIX ART FAIR

By Mark Westall • 30 July 2021

Featuring works by: Martha Alf, who has a gift for giving life, beauty, and often personality to mundane objects with her use of light, colour and space, Sharon Ellis, whose works demonstrate an evocative approach to landscape painting, by touching upon the sublimity of the wild with rich hues, dramatic light sources and marked proportions. Caroline Kent, who explores the relationship between language, translation, and questions the modernist canon of abstraction through her all-black surfaces conjuring pre-linguistic symbols. Sophia Narrett, who paints detailed scenes of fantasy, desire, and eroticism with needle and thread. Ilana Savdie, whose work references microscopic photography of parasites, hosts, viruses, and images that activate a kind of fascination and repulsion at the audacity of its bodyliness and alienness.
