Artist Lois Freeman-Fox brings Paintings and Drawings to Gallery

Ventura County artist Lois Freeman-Fox is pleased to announce her upcoming Paintings and Drawings show at the Clophine Dooley Gallery at the Buenaventura Gallery. The opening reception is May 30 from 4 to 7 p.m.
Freeman-Fox, an Emmy-award winning film editor, was one of the first in that industry to edit films digitally. Her approach to her art has been no less innovative.“Historically, artists traditionally incorporate the latest technological advances or ideas into their artwork,” says Freeman-Fox. “The Renaissance introduced Perspective. Paint being available in tubes made art created by Impressionists more portable. And Pointillism encompassed scientific discoveries of the time relating to optical effects and the perception of color.”Freeman-Fox’s drawings and paintings show, sponsored by the Buenaventura Art Association, unites Lois’ well-developed artistic skills with computer-enhanced techniques through the juxtaposition of photographic clarity and painterly self-expression. “I paint traditional subject matter, portraits and landscapes with modern tools while exploring the art of the masters creating dynamic tension between the old and the new,” says Freeman-Fox.
