Danny Fox’s large-scale canvases present prescient portraits of the twenty-first century. Self-taught, Fox has developed his practice across Cornwall, London and Los Angeles; in the latter, Fox worked alongside his contemporary Henry Taylor, a notable influence.
Through muted tones yet with a distinct painterly flair, Fox’s body of work embodies a vast spectrum of human experience and feeling. Deeply aware of the art historical cannon, with each canvas Fox presents unlikely heroes as protagonists in a subversive and moving visual history of our time.
Work by Fox is held in permanent collection by the Start Museum, Shanghai and the Denver Museum, Denver. Recent solo exhibitions of Fox’s work have been held across Britain, the US, Denmark, Germany and Luxembourg. Fox was the 2017 artist in residence at the Porthmeor Artist Residency Programme, St Ives. Fox was born in 1986 in Cornwall, where, following periods in the UK and Los Angeles, he lives and works today.
