About the Artwork:
“The central character has a maze spilling out of his own head space – becoming trapped within a maze of his own making. The only way to escape this is to find a way to rise above it and float away. This is my simplistic explanation to what is going on in this picture, sounds straight forward but sums up the kind of mental cul-de-sac situation I can often find myself in and the search for the escape route that I’m looking for. A reminder that the mind can be both the lock and the key.” – Jon Fox
About the Artist:
(Artist Bio)
Dynamic geometric structures, angular shapes and striking colour characterise Jon Fox’s tightly packed scenes of mystical figures and their gruelling existential struggles. Born in Hereford, UK, Fox graduated in Fine Art Painting from the University of Brighton in 2004. 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.
