About the Item

Lee Cox (American, born 1941) "Playbill Residue" 2023 Acrylic Paint, Mixed Media, Canvas, Stretcher Bars The artist signed the bottom right of the painting. Playbill Residue is more than an abstract; it’s a map of memory. Lee Cox layered fragments of old theater playbills that once adhered to the walls of his San Francisco home, left by the old tenants, each piece a time stamp of laughter, awe, or shared silence. The torn textures suggest movement, like curtains pulled between acts. At first glance, it’s color and form, but look closer and you’ll find hints of typography, ticket stubs, and lived-in joy. This is a painting that reminds you. 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.
