Jason Fox

In Canada's new Jason Fox monograph (published to accompany the exhibition on view at the gallery through April 23), the artist is interviewed by painter Joe Bradley, who remembers Fox's early shows at Feature gallery as "very comic book-ish, populated with cyborgs and freaks." Fox's response: "From the start I was interested in a kind of cyborg/extreme figuration. For me—I don't know how you feel—Guston was the big shadow to get out from under. He did what I wanted to do… He's this giant shadow, and to get out from under it my strategy was to go extreme. I was listening to Howard Stern, watching early Cronenberg movies, looking at S. Clay Wilson and Crumb. I wanted to blow the figure up and rebuild it in a Frankensteinish way. Art history and comics were the body parts." Featured image is "The Painting that Stole the World" (2015).
