ABOUT ZOX
Born in Hollywood, Zox witnessed many dramatic shifts in the world’s epicenter of image-making. The Atomic Era brought exhilarating changes. He was destined to design rock and pop icons for the evolving future.
After studying art, photography, film and writing at San Diego State University, Zox launched into creating album covers for musicians, to name a few, Steely Dan, Bee Gees, Leon Russell, The Boston Pops, 3 Dog Night, Cheech and Chong, The Guess Who, JJ Cale, Dwight Twilley, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
The artist’s paintings of known figures not only capture their likenesses but their style, character and spirit. His minimalist yet true-to-life approach to portraiture has earned him many exhibitions across the US.
Zox’s 1987 Berlin Wall guerrilla mural Weltfrieden (World Peace) was a massive conceptual work that expressed the zeitgeist at the time, calling for the barrier’s destruction. Two years later, on November 9th, the same date he painted it, the wall came down.
Zox is currently working on his third film DREAMZZZ with co-filmmaker Cru. Two other cinematic works POP UP and FUTURE OF ART have thus far won a combined 31 international festivals. The experimental nature of these films captures the edgy, futuristic design sense that spans Zox’s entire career.
