Andrew LeMay Cox explores storytelling with a process that fuses the traditions of academic painting with a process and narrative that is uniquely his own. His work is constructed using innovative painting techniques that push the materiality of his pieces while negotiating the way we understand paintings as objects through the sculptural qualities of his work. His aesthetic narrative allows viewers to escape reality and get lost in a utopian landscape that stands outside society’s constructs.

Andrew LeMay Cox is an American artist known for his vibrant and dynamic paintings. His work often explores themes of nature, spirituality, and human emotion through bold colors and expressive brushstrokes. Cox has exhibited his art in various galleries and exhibitions across the United States. His body of work incorporates thematic and narrative elements of surrealism alongside the merging of visual elements reminiscent of movements such as fauvism; Showcasing a masterful use and understanding of both color and material. His work is constructed using ink that is baked at high temperatures and is assembled by painting on skins (thin sheets of fabric). The skins hang loosely from the stretcher, adding sculptural properties to two dimensional surfaces. By this means LeMay Cox innovates on the way we understand the materiality of paint and the way we understand this medium as a two dimensional surface. By incorporating sculptural elements into his pieces the artist negotiates with the canvas and transforms it from an image into an object in space. Through his immersive narrative and storytelling, LeMay Cox creates boundary bending pieces that blur the lines between truth and fiction, while inviting the viewer to engage in relevant cultural and sociopolitical commentary.
