MORRIS FOX: EMERALD CITY
-----------------------------
Morris Fox was educated at the School of Fine Arts at Concordia University in Montreal. His work deals with mankind's tumultuous relationship with history, myth making, the alienation of teenage dreams, the quiet devastation of growing up, and the ratiocinative tension between mythic progress and the decayed decadence of society on the edge of ruin.
In his painting series ABC Mythologie (2010-2011), he conjures a legendary world inhabited by monsters, dangerous god-like youths, spun around obscure stories and interpersonal histories, while linking the viewer through his retro found object sculptures to a glimpse of a time scarred world that is careening towards disaster; that is one beyond hope. Morris Fox's work has been featured in Toronto's Nuit Blanche (2011).
