We are pleased to share with you a new essay, Danny Fox: Feedback Loop of Visual Reference, written by Kirsten Cave. This essay explores Fox’s collaboration with photographer Kingsley Ifill, the basis for the paintings included in Danny Fox: The Sweet and Burning Hills (Alexander Berggruen, New York, January 12-February 26, 2021).
From the first group of related photographs and drawings in the 19th century to early pornographic postcards to contemporary pop culture, Fox’s new body of work exists in conversation with the rich history of photography’s influence on drawing and painting.

In speaking about the present painting, Emily Mae Smith noted: “I see the cherry as a symbol of feminine sexuality, here performing a cartoon of masculine gender. The Studio is meant to conjure all of our historical feelings of who artists are.”
