Danny Fox (b. 1986)
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. Selected recent exhibitions
