Maria Fox Larsson works at the intersection of graphic art, sculpture and DIY robotics with a growing focus on immersive experiences. Maria’s art explores emotion through technological means and is strongly inspired by folk automata, DIY values and aesthetics, 20th century absurdist art, and medieval manuscript marginalia.
One of the key motifs in Fox’s art is balance: order vs. chaos, logical regularity vs. breaks and irrational glitches, perfection vs. imperfection, rigidity vs. flexibility, strength vs. vulnerability, shelter vs. confinement. Fox works in a variety of medium ranging from street art, drawings, sculptures to robotic installations and performance pieces. Whatever the medium, Fox’s pieces always manifest a subtle balance between visual simplicity and naiveté on the one hand – and elaborate craftsmanship on the other.
Fox’s works have been shown in Finland, Norway, Serbia, Russia, the UK, and the USA, including eight solo exhibitions. They live and work in Jakobstad, Finland.
