Richard Fox

Richard Fox is a self-taught sculptor based in Oxfordshire, where he has lived and worked since developing his practice in 2005. Inspired by a visit to the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden in St Ives, he began exploring sculpture as a means of expressing form, movement and space. He works across bronze, stone and wood.

Working from drawings and sketches, Fox translates the fluidity of his pencil lines into three-dimensional form. His sculptures are defined by a natural rhythm, where form and void interact to create balance and movement. Designed to be handled and rotated, each piece offers a shifting visual experience, revealing new relationships between curves, twists and negative space.

Craftsmanship is central to his practice. In his wooden works, often using sycamore and natural pigments, each element is carefully shaped and assembled into intricate yet resilient forms, influenced by traditional boat-building techniques.

Fox’s work invites a contemplative response. As the viewer moves around each piece, forms emerge and dissolve, encouraging personal interpretation. His sculptures are widely collected, valued for their tactile quality, fluidity and quietly meditative presence.
