Rohan Fox

Rohan is an autistic, transgender artist born & based in South Wales. Their work focusses on still lives, and nature. They love to use earthy hues and dark backgrounds, to create work that feels dreamy, moody, and haunted.
Fox has learned various mediums over the years, and works with photography, textiles, linoprinting, ceramics, watercolours, charcoal and gouache, and they have experience as a model for both photography and life-drawing. They are a member of Swansea Pottery Collective, attending weekly pottery sessions to experiment and learn.
Their work explores themes of death, decay, and stillness as a central part of nature. Their life experiences have, from an early age, brought them close to death, engendering a curiosity and an appreciation of mortality rather than revulsion or fear; their work reaches to inspire these feelings in the audience. Rohan concentrates their attention on the unloved, rejected and forgotten things: dandelions, slugs, foxes, moths, and the antiques and curios that fill their personal collection.
They have sold their work online and at markets, completed a commission for a shop window mural, and one of their lino prints was exhibited in the Glynn Vivian gallery in 2025. Rohan hopes to enter more exhibitions, and one day to have a solo exhibition of their work.
‘Rohan makes art to survive. Creation has always been a way for them to regulate and express themself, and to focus on the haunted beauty of existence.’
