Jo Fox was born in Wimbledon London in 1967. From early school days it was recognised that Jo had a strong affinity towards the arts and she went on to study Theatre Design at Exeter and Croydon College of Art

Jo Fox says her postgraduate year and Design Lectures encouraged her to become a Painter. And, the move from Theatre to Painting was a natural progression which coincided with a move away from London

Artists that have influenced Jo Fox contemporary paintings include Theatre Designers Tom Cairns, Antony Mcdonald, Hildegard Bechtler together with artists Joan Eardley, Marlene Dumas and Egon Schiele.

The use of colour in Jo Fox paintings is unobtrusive. She uses colour to evoke a timelessness and clarity in her contemporary paintings. Figures and space have always been an integral part of the composition in Jo’s paintings and is a link back to the theatre where the movement and direction of the actors within their space was a constant fascination.

Jo Fox paintings are very textural. This is achieved by the layering of plaster and paper and gives further expression and form to her art work. This technique of layering in Jo’s paintings intrigues and fascinates the viewer

Jo Fox paintings have been exhibited at the Royal Academy. She has also exhibited paintings in New York.

In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery Jo Fox art work has been exhibited at other leading British Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Jo Fox artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
