Original artwork description:

Indigenous artists who leave a lasting impact on the art industry are a rarity, rendering Indigenous artwork a treasure to behold. Fortunately, our collection boasts several remarkable pieces by Douglas Fox.

Hailing from the Wikwemikong Indian Reserve on Manitoulin Island in Ontario, Canada, Fox is deeply steeped in the Woodland Style of Ojibwe native painting, a tradition originating from his homeland. Following in the footsteps of notable figures such as Benjiman Chi-Chi, Richard Bedwash, and Norval Morrisseau, Fox's art embodies the essence of this storied tradition.

Drawing from Native legends, cultural dynamics, spirituality, and mysticism, Fox's paintings are a rich tapestry of imagery that resonates with ancient stories. Infusing his unique techniques and artistic vision, he breathes new life into Woodland School traditions, often inspired by visions or dreams.

As a full-time commission artist, Fox has garnered acclaim from collectors worldwide, including esteemed names like Proctor and Gamble, Castle Entertainment, and private individuals. His exhibitions at prestigious venues such as the Royal Bank of Canada BCE Place and the Miami Art International further solidify his prominent status in the art world.
