ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK



Danny Fox’s rhythmic canvases vividly display unlikely heroes of the 21st century. His subjects never shy from tragedy, promise, heat, violence and sex. Entangled amongst all these elements is a lyrical, yet fragmented vision. His works incorporate local buildings, bars, inhabitants, and folklore, conjuring wild and wonderful scene’s of coastal Britain, in a lucid story telling fashion. The conscious influence and in depth knowledge of St Ives life is ever present. 

Danny Fox was born in St Ives, Cornwall in South West England. He has lived and worked in both UK, and LA where he lived and worked alongside his contemporary Henry Taylor. His work is held in the Start Museum, Shanghai and Denver Museum, Colorado.
