It has been quite a while since I have posted and a lot of things have been happening! I am studying in an MFA program now that allows me to make work in my home studio as well as at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown twice yearly. This past fall, I was able to spend a month painting in a wonderful studio there with a great group of MFA candidates.Joan Coxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16193701199261607256noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278906209713590926.post-87611780716007398902012-05-11T22:18:00.000-04:002012-05-11T22:35:00.977-04:00May at the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am in my second month-long residency at the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center. I arrived in the rain on Tuesday night and set up my studio along with 20 other MFA students in the MassArts Low-Residency program. I spent the last two days in studio reviews and critiques and saw some amzing work and wonderful transformations in artist's work since the Fall residency. Just wanted to take a minute to post some photoes here of the work center, our crits and some of my new paintings.Joan Coxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16193701199261607256noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278906209713590926.post-18706738360078910182010-07-23T15:16:00.008-04:002010-07-23T15:32:43.667-04:00BP Oil Spill Prompts New Art<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-4N5Je3JRi2izgCoHVS7CEaa4DYdAN85ZeOWP2sAn-6ZqkQm9eAiARRt5FWNc2Ynas0ySeDaSa0ul8oJ3ugMX0I-kF-lvqN-VIhEoTXgYf9PCahfmx6qTBrj_bD9y8xwnNbQB2CiY9HH3/s1600/Cox_Viscous_1_medres.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-4N5Je3JRi2izgCoHVS7CEaa4DYdAN85ZeOWP2sAn-6ZqkQm9eAiARRt5FWNc2Ynas0ySeDaSa0ul8oJ3ugMX0I-kF-lvqN-VIhEoTXgYf9PCahfmx6qTBrj_bD9y8xwnNbQB2CiY9HH3/s320/Cox_Viscous_1_medres.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497186848696321122" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgSvwWbqOa001xErkIyqxPAEPxQCwBK7Fsk2aHXqr2Y0L5wa-6rd-4KNZgGXBlMxNQRXNt8aPyjzsINJaYjmiTtzmIC5LCkCbjAh5xrKecTyjNxWrRORev-vi4Zm-ZFCWbtZCs8V-W-sgI/s1600/Cox_Viscous_9_medres.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgSvwWbqOa001xErkIyqxPAEPxQCwBK7Fsk2aHXqr2Y0L5wa-6rd-4KNZgGXBlMxNQRXNt8aPyjzsINJaYjmiTtzmIC5LCkCbjAh5xrKecTyjNxWrRORev-vi4Zm-ZFCWbtZCs8V-W-sgI/s320/Cox_Viscous_9_medres.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497186751371805074" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7XjssRDBXFMMxCkRdXCz4BZ7yCSCOFmYdhIgS7hA2iyjezBKfhAW00f8NKPbirt0etG8W00iNk2ih22r-qSemEM_Fldv2KcRQFLX2KS5qkeWiPLUd00mWaFbeZmDhgXF7UkSQ-QYELR_m/s1600/BP_10+canvases.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 141px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7XjssRDBXFMMxCkRdXCz4BZ7yCSCOFmYdhIgS7hA2iyjezBKfhAW00f8NKPbirt0etG8W00iNk2ih22r-qSemEM_Fldv2KcRQFLX2KS5qkeWiPLUd00mWaFbeZmDhgXF7UkSQ-QYELR_m/s320/BP_10+canvases.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497186633760692002" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyagIsA21IjkQz7nazVGaRdVDiLopS6ga8M2evvuoK5_UGddYBt9orZ9Ijs-KCsFaMlkT5FOYbKPC9rQCb_wC0btPH2y8zclGcl0JXgs2jmHlrhy7XWUT37rOc6dojAptk66_0XBIjghwW/s1600/BP_10+canvases_med.jpg"><br /></a><br />From the very first day that the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and began spewing oil into the Gulf of Mexico, I have felt completely sick to my stomach. Before I even saw the heartbreaking images of the brown pelicans struggling in the thick muck I was completely heartbroken and furious that this could happen. Then when day two and three and four and five of oil spewing into the Gulf continued, I couldn't believe the news. I couldn't even comprehend the fact that they couldn't control the problem within a few days.<br /><br />87 days later, BP finally "stopped" the gushing and I had already begun making a series of new paintings in response to my horror at the situation.<br /><br />It can be extremely complicated to put all of the emotions and anger that I have into a piece of art so I had to brew on it for quite a while. I decided to approach it in the simplest way possible for me. I am in the process of creating an installation of 87 paintings depicting the many animals, fish, birds, crabs and other species that are suffering at the hands of BP. These are still in progress and a few images are shown here.

Some of these are still in progress, but I thought I'd share and request any feedback anyone has for me. I am struggling to keep the fresh quick gestural applications of paint while still capturing the essence of the figure and the emotions just under the surface of each one. I am finding myself getting caught up in painting tight details. Looking forward to the warmer weather coming so I can make faster progress on these and some new works. The cold winter months are slowing down my painting in the garage.Joan Coxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16193701199261607256noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278906209713590926.post-71579055655962498982009-08-02T07:28:00.002-04:002009-09-03T15:48:00.456-04:00Lots of Photos from Austria posted on Facebook<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ9BG04oEP8CzxaU1FDxJn-M0JzGso8vHZIXR6XePC-EN_Bs907DC81Dw744N1Evnut4cknbS2khX6p2unEKIBjmAhLsdkdGLXC9XOF5NSZKMR1aFT3Xi1cLijzW-vX6LW8kAEuYfpRTej/s1600-h/IMG_0694.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ9BG04oEP8CzxaU1FDxJn-M0JzGso8vHZIXR6XePC-EN_Bs907DC81Dw744N1Evnut4cknbS2khX6p2unEKIBjmAhLsdkdGLXC9XOF5NSZKMR1aFT3Xi1cLijzW-vX6LW8kAEuYfpRTej/s320/IMG_0694.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377330293313712242" border="0" /></a><br />Due to several technical difficulties and lack of wifi here in the mountains of Austria, I have found it easiest to post photos to Facebook directly from my phone.

After a short one hour nap and some fussing with my iphone and internet signals and electric converters that wouldn't work, I finally stumbled out in the sunny streets feeling tired and exhilarated at the same time.<br /><br />There were horse drawn carriages clopping by every few minutes and beautiful sculptures and architecture looming overhead in every direction. I followed a very simple path straight to the <a href="http://www.mqw.at/fset_en.html">MuseumsQuartier Wien</a> and bought my ticket for entrance into all three very contemporary looking museums located together on a big plaza with outdoor cafes and enormous modern plastic seating structures.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.leopoldmuseum.org/index_en.html">Leopold Museum</a> was having an exhibit of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egon_Schiele">Egon Schiele's</a> paintings and drawings. I hadn't realized that he was Austrian and also that he had died at only 28 yrs old with the flu. He made quite a few paintings in his short time that are very expressive and personal. I have a new found love for his work and was very inspired by his freedom on the page. There were other great works in this museum including a Klimt and other expressionistic works. The Cy Twombly exhibit at the <a href="http://www.mumok.at/?L=1">Museum of Modern Art (MUMOK)</a> was sadly less inspiring.Joan Coxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16193701199261607256noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278906209713590926.post-39504115701174340102009-07-17T08:26:00.009-04:002009-07-17T09:50:38.018-04:00Savannah, Georgia: Fried Chicken, Iced Tea and Paintings<div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsvbnLn7rS7TA2L79OP_qzh_ASyx_l1Xi0gg5AnvOy1821FBZsgqOZ21ZQfz14eHbL82VneKTdSJE8vxMeh0NnGgCl7mZm0i8BYVRRBRYrjMPOIuDkWF31d4sHfImMsW75Pdbbu5t7x7N-/s1600-h/IMG_0102.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsvbnLn7rS7TA2L79OP_qzh_ASyx_l1Xi0gg5AnvOy1821FBZsgqOZ21ZQfz14eHbL82VneKTdSJE8vxMeh0NnGgCl7mZm0i8BYVRRBRYrjMPOIuDkWF31d4sHfImMsW75Pdbbu5t7x7N-/s320/IMG_0102.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359424560941755394" border="0" /></a>Fountain in Forsyth Park...just one of 21 beautiful parks in downtown Savannah</span><br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a style="font-style: italic;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-kWtbBsxtIWCYhNsNZOBZlcm9bBaqMXKBTbZfqFJT5PgB1UrD9rxZYSLxo3OManDA2UhVIK6cEZ695Zx1UeenpMpe5a6g1i-DLig1_8fFS1FceoBjaBGaa8buZzXNQ_6VaqteLGoIZocp/s1600-h/IMG_0116.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-kWtbBsxtIWCYhNsNZOBZlcm9bBaqMXKBTbZfqFJT5PgB1UrD9rxZYSLxo3OManDA2UhVIK6cEZ695Zx1UeenpMpe5a6g1i-DLig1_8fFS1FceoBjaBGaa8buZzXNQ_6VaqteLGoIZocp/s320/IMG_0116.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359423936972375362" border="0" /></a></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >Scooters in Savannah...inspiration for a new painting</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">We took a brief vacation in Savannah, Georgia over the fourth of July where the moss hangs thick from the live oak trees and where the fried chicken is as good as it gets.

Thanks to all of you who came down to Fort Avenue. And thanks to Gallery 211 for hanging the work so beautifully and putting on a great reception. The paintings really pop in this space. The opposing brick wall and white wall create a great dynamic for the 15 paintings.<br /><br />If you get a chance, stop in to see the show. The gallery is open on Saturdays from 2 - 7 p.m. so you can drop in on your way to grab a bite in Federal Hill. The gallery is located just around the corner from School 33 Art Center.Joan Coxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16193701199261607256noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278906209713590926.post-47408085627351200952009-06-26T11:31:00.003-04:002009-06-26T11:38:45.199-04:00Art Opening Tonight at Gallery 211!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmbH5r_Sn6fWWnUKpyRAMiVInifzub-kTWYPRfjWSW3ZNdLqkxd6pBrdqzAgksxFdwn6znzvMJafUFc3HSkj_bCskIfAyJOf1_OKRPkuDBeGoUJZO7EKc3kXaSHCw5NQtIy0r_kl3WDNMc/s1600-h/Red&Blue+Scooters_med.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmbH5r_Sn6fWWnUKpyRAMiVInifzub-kTWYPRfjWSW3ZNdLqkxd6pBrdqzAgksxFdwn6znzvMJafUFc3HSkj_bCskIfAyJOf1_OKRPkuDBeGoUJZO7EKc3kXaSHCw5NQtIy0r_kl3WDNMc/s320/Red&Blue+Scooters_med.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351660482520121538" border="0" /></a><br /><br />SCOOTER PARKING ONLY opens tonight from 6-10 at <a href="http://www.gallery211.net/">Gallery 211</a> in Federal Hill! I am super excited to have my paintings hung in this great little gallery on Fort Ave. There are 15 paintings in total. Most are acrylic and some are acrylic with oil on top.<br /><br />I had so much fun painting these last summer. I was inspired by riding my own little 50cc scooter around Alexandria. I treated the scooters in the paintings like figures: putting them in groupings, posing them like portraits and capturing moods in bright colors.<br /><br />Hope you get a chance to see the show at the gallery between now and August 29, 2009...or just go to <a href="http://www.joancoxart.com">my website</a> to see the rest. The one pictured here is the final painting in the series and isn't on my web site yet.Joan Coxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16193701199261607256noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278906209713590926.post-69698532723416104962009-04-15T18:47:00.004-04:002009-04-17T21:04:44.256-04:00Going to Austria!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-plhhdWeIhqyKOgUiZu-WEX-_nYNPowOF1iyjfdJQRbfxsniAfReUaHzHOcZC5nPwE4c6aK_SGFZS6PtvMtr9iU05zA9XYQ50LwpFr0qhMPB3kFryQmSz7LgOBzpVeKhVJTfDBy7p15QF/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 186px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-plhhdWeIhqyKOgUiZu-WEX-_nYNPowOF1iyjfdJQRbfxsniAfReUaHzHOcZC5nPwE4c6aK_SGFZS6PtvMtr9iU05zA9XYQ50LwpFr0qhMPB3kFryQmSz7LgOBzpVeKhVJTfDBy7p15QF/s320/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325057181853237730" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Painting by Xenia Hausner</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></span></div>I will soon be packing my bags for three weeks of <span style="font-style: italic;">daily</span> painting in a very small lake town in Austria.
