Nigel Cox (born 1959) is an Irish figurative artist.[1] He grew up on the edge of Dundalk, a small market town in County Louth, just south of the border.

Biography

Early life

Cox, the second youngest of four children, had three sisters, Sandra, Jacqui and Nicola. Cox left Ireland in 1977 to study marine radio and radar technology, at Riversdale College of Technology, Liverpool, UK in order to become a Radio Officer in the Merchant Navy. He then joined the Transglobe Expedition,[2] led by Sir Ranulph Fiennes. This three-year expedition achieved the first circumnavigation of the globe on land,[3] sea and ice via North and South poles along the Greenwich Meridian. In 1989 Cox moved to London.

Influential years

Transglobe expedition

During the Transglobe Expedition,[4] whose Patron was HRH Prince Charles,[5] Cox was at sea, on an ice cap or in a remote location, surrounded by the vast and desolate spaces which had a profound effect and influenced his art.[6] During the expedition Cox's medium was sketchbook and watercolour.

Work

Paintings and technique

Cox began painting in watercolour while on the Transglobe Expedition creating illustrations for his diary. He continued painting when living in Germany developing his technique in both watercolour and oils. In his work, Cox takes everyday people out of their busy surroundings[6] and places them out of context, in minimalist empty landscapes. His techniques and influences are further explored in his interview in The Argus, by Margaret Roddy.[7]
