ABOUT KRYS FOX
Krys fox is an american photographer based out of new york city. his work is known for itS raw, intense, dream-like, cinematic imagery and a very strong personal aesthetic that renders his work instantly recognizable, regardless of the subject matter.
FOX is a self taught artist that was raised in Southern California in a large blended family that moved houses quite a bit. To document his changing environments and companions, he began taking Polaroid and Disposable Camera pictures of EVERYTHING — a secret collection of faces, places and animals.
His private images began garnishing attention due to their extreme, intimate and often surreal nature, leading to a pair of solo showcases in Los Angeles at the age of 19. These exhibitions changed the course of his life and art, and he’s been a working photographer the past 23 years. Krys has continued to exhibit his work across America and in galleries overseas. Recent solo exhibitions include STYX & STONES, 31 DAYS of HALLOWEEN, FOX on the RUN and SCORPIO RISING. He was also one third of the trio of artists, along with prolific painter/designer Scooter LaForge and dearly departed photographer Walt Cessna, aptly named the WOLFPACK. Wolfpack enjoyed success in a pair of hit shows in NYC and Manchester, UK.
Fox frequently creates images for well known and upcoming artists, musicians and actors. Some of his recent collaborators have been Amanda Palmer and the Dresden Dolls, Neil Gaiman, Ani DiFranco, Joey Arias, Alan Cumming, Guillermo Diaz, James Duval, Rachel True, Gregg Araki, Matthew Camp, John Cameron Mitchell, Bridget Barkan, Sxip Shirey & Coco Karol, Ron Athey, Jordan Ladd, Jaason Simmons, Sarah Lassez, Kim and Zoe Boekbinder as well as COUNTLESS drag queens, clowns, rock bands, actors, dancers, performers and beautiful oddballs of all walks of life.
Currently FOX is working on the release of several retrospective photography books and shooting a new series (that has taken on a new, more urgent, meaning in a Covid World), HELPING HANDS. The Helping Hands Series explores the emotional reaction(s) in photo subjects when strangers place hands on them, with no sexual or premeditated intent other than to heal and support. Spoiler Alert: It’s beautiful and intense! Shooting for the powerful series will continue as soon as more people are vaccinated and it’s safe to do so…
