Pigeon Eyeshadow A3 print - Limited Edition of 200 Print

Beatrix Haxby's art casts diverse subject matter into an equally wide net of media. She explores themes and ideas seemingly disparate as surrealism, mysticism, New Romanticism, eroticism and athleticism, which she believes form a meaningful lattice of coincidence in the cultural imaginary. She believes that passe abstractions such as beauty, virtuosity and ambition have a shifting but continuing validity. No matter, the medium she works in, she sees a common thread in her approach to art-making: as generating landscapes of possibility. Her creative energy invests itself in perishable materials of oil paint, wooden board and linen canvas, found scraps and her own sculpture; in the galvanised digital realm: filming, motion graphics and animation; and most recently in the corporeal realm of calisthenics and gymnastics. As a painter she focused on the body as a subject, but she is now too using it as a subject.
