Jaq Belcher


 

Exhibitions



Jaq Belcher is an Australian-born artist currently living and working in New York.  Belcher’s paper works are created through meticulous and detailed cutting and folding.  Her work explores the experience of consciousness and mindfulness in the process of creation. 

Through her cuts and folds, Belcher engages in a process of subtraction, taking away from the white void of the blank paper in order to envision new forms. These cuts result in beautifully detailed, undulating patterns, that reflect the meditative quiet of their creation.

Jaq received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and her Master of Arts Administration from the University of New South Wales College of Fine Arts. Her work has been exhibited and collected internationally.

Sophia Belkin





Exhibitions

Group Exhibition, Let’s Go Swimming, 2025
Group Exhibition, Arcade, 2024
Group Exhibition, Tempter, 2023

Available Works


Sophia Belkin (b. 1990 Moscow, Russia) currently lives and works in New Orleans, Louisiana. She earned her BFA in drawing and printmaking from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2012. She has participated in residency programs in Vermont, Norway, Russia, and the Narva Art Residency in Estonia. Recent shows include Á Condition at Calaboose in Montreal, Fossil Bloom at The Front in New Orleans, and Svetspalonos, an immersive multimedia exhibition installed in collaboration with Dave Greber and Kanrec Sakul on Juzna Trieda in Kosice, Slovakia.

Sophia Belkin uses dye painting, embroidery, and textile collage to create intricate and dynamic compositions that reference natural processes. She works from a collection of original photographs that are printed on chiffon and attached to dyed backgrounds using a CNC embroidery machine. The appliqué technique references craft and fashion, while the content of the work mimics biological structures and movements. Like membranes within the body, or cell walls of a flower- the forms appear both permeable and rigid. Calibrating between intuitive gestural mark-making and the controlled line of the CNC, the textile paintings create layered, multidimensional environments that imply a constant state of regeneration, expansion and flux.
