We are delighted to introduce you to the talented artist Jon Fox. Jon is a praised illustrator and painter, known for his dynamic structures and vivid use of colour. His work spans across publishing, murals and EP covers.
Born in the UK, he has studied in Bristol and Brighton (Fine Art Painting) and participated in numerous group exhibitions, including Égrégore: The Zenith of Pop Surrealism at Yves Laroche Galerie d’Art, Montréal (2014), and has held solo shows in various cities around the world.
"A child of the 80s, he was initially attracted to Japanese and American cartoons, comics and computer games, along with hip hop and the graffiti styles that came with it. Drawing on personal introspection, Fox juggles narrative and pictorial composition to produce vivid mindscapes, layered journeys in search of an underlying energy and balance."
