Cecilia Fox is an artist, writer, and comedian whose work revolves around topics of mental health, sexuality, and art criticism. She blurs the lines between the professions of being an artist and an influencer, and her work is primarily found in the digital realms of social media, such as Instagram and YouTube.
Recently, she became a member of the Arcade collective, a playground for art criticism that explores a multi-leveled approach to art criticism and its relationships with and within artistic processes. (Current members: Elisabetta Cuccaro, Maartje Terpstra, Dinnis van Dijken).
As part of her artistic research, Cecilia Fox has infiltrated the local comedy scene, where she is taking her first steps as a comedian. Her comedy style contrasts her innocent comedic character with grotesque and explicit content as she explores her confusion about the contemporary dating world.

👩🎨Artist statementCecilia Fox is an internet-based alter ego who embraces amateur aesthetics and DIY technologies, infiltrating various mediums like books, music videos, and more. Her work delves into pop culture and social media with non-judgmental curiosity, sprinkled with sweet cynicism, while acknowledging the post-truth era we live in. In her art practice, she playfully incorporates scientific research methods, marketing strategies, and pop cultural references, infusing comedic approaches. Combining contradictory elements, her work showcases vulnerability alongside cynicism, autobiography intertwined with fiction, and humor balancing seriousness. It seamlessly blends the obnoxious with the self-conscious, spontaneous with scripted. Her artistic roots lie deep in performance art and writing. Throughout her work, she explores her own identity and self-presentation as a woman, artist, and clinically insane. |
