Nick Fox Unveiled, London

Nick Fox’s new installation at MOCA will comprise a new 15 foot painting made directly for the space, as well as work from Fox’s collection paired with a painting by Francis Picaba. Fox’s work stems from what would appear to be a highly decorative tradition but on closer inspection many of the apparently floral images turn out to be highly erotic. Go to http://www.mocalondon.co.uk/newprojects.html for sample

Venue: MOCA, The Museum of Contemporary Art, 113 Bellenden Road, London SE15 4QY
