Foxton's "Hidden Branch" is a haunting painting that isolates the trauma that comes from one drop's ripple.
Deep blues and greens dominate the canvas and evoke melancholy, suffocation, and loss, despite the bold, orange cavern and the neon pinks and blues dotted throughout.
The small basin of water churns, never settling because the past agitates underneath. A man contemplates time, wondering if any has passed since the past and present are nearly indistinguishable. He sits, upright and proud, while his leg rests in the water, connecting him with the trauma—and the hope—passed down to him. The man studies the sundial, frozen by the artist. Calm despite the deep gash along his side, he thinks how time passes and human nature changes so little, while his blurred ancestor—burning at first glance—carries the future: small, thin branches that scratch his arms. Yet he smiles, knowing that the butterflies and tattered ribbon of his hope will far outlive him. He can leave them behind.
The most striking aspect of the artist's painting is not the bright colors, sharp, lethal branches, impaled limp bodies screaming as they slide into the water one after the other, but the tree. The everyday tree rendered in a muted dark green. Its colors contrast with the intensity of the painting's center—and highlight the work's haunting tone. Trauma exists in the small moments, the tiny seconds, the neon drop of water that creates a never-ending ripple, and the minor, everyday cuts that rip open and consume the present.

The goal of my paintings is to transport the viewer into a passage between the external world and the internal world. This passage is defined by my color schema which develops through the energetic expanse of a grand narrative. While my work is figurative, the structure is found in both figurative and abstract painting. The subjects I am drawn to come from art history and the elements of today’s world that could change the way we see our narrative; I focus on the space where ideology and meaning get processed through us.
My content is composed of the layers that create a grand narrative; reverence, intimacy, and wonder are things I find myself meditating on in life. The Hunt is an important motif that I have a sense of reverence for in my practice for its historical depth at the very beginning of art history, to the technical mastery expressed in Rubens’s oeuvre, and the primal impulse still encoded in us. I love particular details about things and people. A crooked nose, the shape of a lip, or the proportions a body all present particular characteristics in how we recognize and relate physically, that we find intimacy in. My sense of wonder is both macro, in the sense of heavenly bodies and the narratives humanity has come up with to explain the sky, to the micro peculiar objects imbued with power and mysticism. These facets of art history and humanity reflect an epicenter of my being where reverence, intimacy, and wonder touch.
