In his New York solo debut, the British artist (and former fashion designer) pays tribute to his queer forefathers.
A long-haired man with a key around his neck stares at you. His unbuttoned jeans and denim jacket are delineated in bright red; his undershirt and jockstrap, which carries a substantial package, are incandescent pink. This is a portrait of the artist Tava, one of the standout works from an exhibition by the British painter Alex Foxton, opening in late April at Kapp Kapp gallery in New York. “Tava was an amazing-looking guy, and he did these gigantic murals of semi-mythological figures.
By Foxton’s late 30s, however, “I wasn’t really satisfied anymore as a designer; I felt I was more like a manager.” After an unhappy spell in Milan, Foxton moved back to Paris, where he would paint at his kitchen table at night after his fashion job. He posted the results on Instagram, and quickly built a following: a curator offered to put him in a group show, and the prestigious Parisian art and fashion bookshop 0fr gave him his first solo exhibition.
