About

Studio Member since 2014

b.1992

The energy of Cole Fox’s marks bursting across the canvas belie the intentionality and patience ingrained in his practice. He carefully plans what adaptive tools and color schemes to use to construct bold, dynamic abstract paintings. Fox has a keen eye for composition and layout as well as creative writing acumen. These assets benefit him as an artist. Fox continuously challenges himself with his art making practice and transforms it into personal expression that transcends spoken word. Fox pushes the lines of what art is and who makes it. He finds freedom in going beyond what people think he is capable of. 

“Even though I am disabled, I’m an artist first and foremost. Let my art speak for itself and speak loudly.”

Fox’s artwork has been exhibited nationally and locally at the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art and is in multiple corporate collections.
