Oil on Canvas, 2020
65 inches x 65 inches (165cm x 165cm)
In June of 2019, I traveled to Santa Ysabel, California to photograph a Russian fox named Viktor. The photos would serve as reference material for the central figure in this painting. The fox is surrounded by 32 fox-related toys from various generations of pop culture. The decorative motif is primarily influenced by a 16th century illuminated Bible, as well as early 20th century circus posters. The painting took approximately 750 hours spread out over 7 months.
