Reynolds Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Mark Fox. The exhibition opens on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 at our Main Street location. The show runs through August 22.

For more than a decade, Mark Fox’s practice has centered around works on paper. For him, everything begins with drawing and often, through elaborate systems and processes, these drawings result in sculptural forms. Through these systems, Fox reduces decision-making at the formal level while allowing for “accidents” to inform the content.

The importance of random mark-making and chance juxtaposition, integral to all his work, reflects his concern with how we manage the daily onslaught of information and how it manages us. An obsessive doodler, Fox has always accumulated stains, spills, lists, and other marginalia adjacent to his formal drawings. Years ago, he began to question the higher value placed on intentional marks while random ones, just as beautiful or intriguing, were considered less important.

This spurred him to elevate the random marks by cutting them out and building elaborate web-like sculptural forms. Wishing to increase the element of chance in these web pieces, he assembles them by working from the solid white (reverse) side so that the actual images remain hidden from view. Only after the webs are constructed does he see what new meanings or associations are revealed through the juxtaposition of individual images on the “front” of the drawings.
