Langley Fox is drawn to people and places that appear ordinary but have stories to tell. By depicting melancholic and dark details of life in a captivating and photorealistic manner, Fox presents a cinematic nostalgia for somewhere and something insignificant. Fox uses high-contrast light to guide focus and to portray mystery in the mundane and dilapidated. Always seeking to emulate poignant encounters, Fox often thinks about her paintings as comparable to scores being attached to moving images, adding an emotional affect to an otherwise silent moment.

Fox (b. 1989, Sun Valley, ID) earned her BFA from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, CA and attended Parsons School of Design in New York, NY. After years of collaborative commissioned work for fashion houses and magazines where she was mostly creating photorealistic pen and pencil illustrations, Fox shifted to spending more time with oil paints and creating for gallery shows. Fox and her work have been featured in numerous publications including W Magazine, Flaunt, The Bare Magazine, LA Mag, Coveteur, Glamour, Elle, Vogue, and Harper’s Bazaar. Fox lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
