Description from the seller
Belle Doxx – “My Filthy Bastards: Saint and Sinner” – Diptych – Original mixed media on canvas
An expressive diptych by the Dutch contemporary artist Belle Doxx, consisting of two original works that together form one conceptual whole.
The two figures are described by Belle Doxx as “My Filthy Bastards. Saint and Sinner, my guardian angels” and are inspired by the Chinese Foo Dogs, traditional protectors and gatekeepers. In her own interpretation, the two figures represent good and evil, two opposing forces that, according to the artist, are inextricably linked.
The work revolves around duality. Light and darkness, holy and sinner, conformity and deviation. Doxx starts from the idea that every person carries both sides within them, even when pride, social expectations, or self-image lead us to hide one aspect.
The artist also refers to her own experience with labels such as “bad guy” and “black sheep.” Looking back, she sees judging others as something that sometimes stems from the need to keep one's own shortcomings out of sight. This gives the diptych a personal layer that goes beyond the striking figuration.
At the same time, the work touches on a universal paradox: we crave individuality, but we are often cautious not to stray too far from the group. For Belle Doxx, true balance does not come from denying one side of ourselves, but from facing both sides. Not as an excuse for misbehavior, but as an acknowledgment of the contradiction inherent in being human.
The two figures thus function almost as a contemporary variant of yin and yang: opposing forces that form a whole when they come together. Saint and Sinner are not separate realms, but two sides that need each other to find balance.
Visually, Belle Doxx translates this idea into two raw, almost primitive figures with large eyes, jagged teeth, and a blocky, monumental form. The works are clearly related, yet subtly differ in expression and detailing.
The dark color palette of black, purple, burgundy, and pink is combined with light contour lines and visible, thick layers of paint. This creates a tactile, almost sculptural skin. The imagery moves between neo-expressionism, urban contemporary, and street art.
