Fox uses a palette knife for a thick, confident application of paint, with which he builds both solid forms in still lifes and landscapes. Verging on near abstraction, these emotionally driven paintings are deeply atmospheric and rich with opaque, saturated color and ambient light. In 2016, he started using collage and hand-formed clay sculptures as a way explore shapes and spatial relationships in his work. “The clay, the collage and the painting all inform each other,” Fox says.
