An Art on a Postcard Mini Auction Curated by India Rose James

About
Danny Fox imbues his scenes of dramatic heroics and domestic quietude with immediacy and power. The U.K. born, London and Los Angeles based painter’s portrayals of boxers, horseback riders, and reclining women all enjoy equal vibrancy and drama. His brushy portraiture, which often includes blocky symbols of the natural world (a moon sliver, a houseplant), recalls the canvases of Katherine Bradford, Paul Gauguin, and Henri Matisse. Fox has exhibited at galleries in London, New York, Los Angeles, and Copenhagen. In 2017, he was an artist in residence at the Porthmeor Artist Residency Programme in his hometown of St. Ives. The figures in Fox’s paintings—from the protesting women of The Prodigal Son in Misery at the Women’s March (2017) to the salesman in Ice cream seller (2016)—often hail from the artist’s daily encounters.
Please do not bid on artwork in our Art on a Postcard auctions if you intend on selling the artwork after you have purchased it. This auction has been organised for charity and all artworks have been generously donated by the artists to raise money for the Hepatitis C Trust. When the work produced for the charity is sold on the secondary market it damages our relationship with the artist and prevents us from fundraising.
