A SONG FOR SOMEONE ELSE

AT
THE GALLERY IN REDCHURCH STREET, 50 REDCHURCH STREET, E2

7TH UNTIL 12TH SEPTEMBER

Introduction

A Song For Someone Else is the latest solo exhibition by self taught 24 year old painter, poet and musician Danny Fox.

Originally from Cornwall, Fox left the coastal town of St. Ives at 17 and has since traveled to various places. He currently lives in London.

His last exhibition explored his own personal story of love and the security that it brings, this state commemorated by a shrine like mantle piece of belongings and keepsakes which he used in a installation called Evidence of Love.

A Song For Someone Else explores the flip-side having lost everything, my love, my home, my belongings. States Fox. The exhibition is a collection of new works using a variety of media, exploring the territory of a broken relationship and the intoxicating solitude that remains. In the centre of the exhibition sits a full size tree painted white, stripped bare of its lush foliage, all that clings to the branches are used foil leaves.

The exhibition is supported by Millennium, St. Ives.

Director Joseph Clarke states Fox is an artist with a rare unguarded ability to be truly honest. His work is made because it needs to be made, for Fox this expression is cathartic. When viewing this exhibition how can we not be moved by such sincerity, but also reminded of our own isolation and our own difficulties in making sense of that which is dealt to us.
