DescriptionJorn Fox was exposed to art at an early age by his father, an art instructor and abstract painter. Even through Jorn went on to study art in college, he believes that his real education came from many hours he has spent painting in his studio. There his canvases offer him unlimited opportunities for expression, exploration and discovery. Working with palette knife and brush, Jorn is able to keenly evoke either serenity and stillness or liveliness and motion in his works. He is known for his striking use of color, much of it pure and thickly layered. Jorn is frequently referred to as a California Impressionist, yet his work possesses a singular style in contrast to his French counterparts, with an engaging sense of balance. On View
