About the Item

Lee Cox (American, born 1941) "The Circus Comes to Town" 2023 Acrylic Paint, Wood Panel The artist signed the bottom right of the painting. "The Circus Comes to Town" crackles with the memory of childhood wonder. Bold reds and oranges tumble across the surface like acrobats mid-flight, set against a deep night sky of navy blue. There’s a rhythm to the forms, like distant music from a parade or the glow of lights flickering through a tent. Lee Cox scratches into the surface, like marking time or trying to hold on to a moment that passed too quickly. The painting feels both playful and mysterious, a glimpse into how big the world once felt. About the Artist: Lee Cox is a Carmel-based abstract artist whose layered acrylic compositions draw from personal memory and emotion. A lifelong collector and student of abstract art, Cox turned to painting after a successful 35-year career in telecommunications. His intuitive process, often guided by music, blends vivid color, pencil line, and texture into visual reflections of lived experience. Each work invites viewers to explore their own internal landscapes.
