What is the shape between memories and the present? Identity and the body? Embraces and resentments? Children and parents? Longing and fear? Intimacy and detachment? Our ancestry and our future?
In drawing, a negative shape is the space between objects. Although it is the contour of a void, perceiving this shape is essential to understanding the relationship between things.
- Miguel Carter-Fisher
Exhibition runs through July 9.

The majority of these pieces were made between March 2020 and March 2021. The work reflects the duality of this time period. Pandemic isolation allowed for increased introspection, reflection, and studio time. The coordinated heroism of some stood in sharp contrast to the selfishness of others. Despite the hardships we experience, there is still beauty and light. During the past year, I was often drawn to a particular memory from my childhood, drawing and coloring on the floor, next to my “Barbie Family House”. The themes and color palette for these works are inspired by the Mod Pop aesthetic of that doll house.
The three dimensional works begin as papier-mâché sculptures, that are then coated with encaustic wax, multiple layers, added, removed, shaped, refined, and finally adorned with found or repurposed objects. The encaustic wax surfaces can be deceiving, in that they often mimic other materials, such as, stone, plastic or chocolate. The repurposed objects add energy to the pieces and reinforce my intention to make works with minimal waste or negative environmental impact.

LOSS AND NEW FOUND THINGS
This series of paintings was created over the last two years of my life, during which I experienced some major losses, the most painful one being the death of my father. It is a description of many difficult times throughout the grieving process, but is also about the many moments I found hope in unexpected people and places. Each painting is a story about a moment that changed me forever. My work is always about connections to people and places, but this series is even more personal to me and is very much influenced by the friends and family who continue to walk with me (and sometimes carry me) through these crazy days.
Richmond artist Alix Petrie was born October 29, 1973 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. In 1984, Alix moved from Canada to Richmond with her parents and two brothers.
She grew up in a home where from an early age she was encouraged to follow her passion to express herself in drawing and painting. After completing her secondary education at Tucker High School, she enrolled in the Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts and then went on to the Blue Ridge Community College Veterinary Tech program. This education has provided the platform for her to follow her two great loves: painting and caring for animals.
Bold flat planes of acrylic color characterize her early work, which was inspired by people and events from her personal experience. Her first works in oils focused on the organic, and took inspiration from nature and landscapes. Her most recent works involve a more emotional, personal story about her own journey through loss.
Alix has been represented by Schindler Gallery since 2018, and is most excited to participate in her first solo exhibition here.
