RICHARD EVERETT FOX is a figurative artist whose work focuses on the male body as a site of intimacy & emotional depth. Drawing on classical technique & a queer perspective, he depicts gay men with warmth and sensitivity, emphasizing humanity & tenderness over overt eroticism. #gay #art #lgbtq #male

Fox’s gay identity subtly shapes his imagery through gesture, touch, and quiet vulnerability. Desire emerges through closeness and mood rather than spectacle. His paintings feel warm, affirming, and introspective—celebrations of male beauty that emphasize connection & gentleness. #art #lgbtq+ #men
