Stephen Fox: Drive-In Theater Oil Paintings
Stephen Fox was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1957. He studied painting and printmaking, receiving his BFA from the Virginia Commonwealth University in 1980. His first night paintings, a subject that has remained the focus of his work to this day, were made in the final two semesters of college.
Almost immediately upon graduation,his paintings were featured in Virginia Museum of Fine Arts juried exhibitions, winning critical acclaim and interest from galleries. He received a Virginia Commission for the Arts Professional Artist Fellowship in 1982. The following year Stephen Fox had his first solo exhibition at Cudahy’s Gallery in Richmond, Virginia. The show was a sell-out in just two days.
