Welcome to Camille Fox Art

Welcome to my website. I hope you will return to visit often as we will be adding new works, photographs and media releases regularly.

My name is Camille Fox and I am an artist living in Sydney Australia. I paint with oils in the layering and glazing style of the Old Masters, using the finest linen and richest pigment paints. For the past few years my passion has been painting the Egypt of yesteryear...the Egypt of my roots, depicting a Cosmopolitan Era which no longer exists. You can see these paintings in the drop down Gallery menu.

I also like to paint in gouache on Archival paper - you can find these in the drop down Gallery menu, under 'Vignettes of Sydney'.

I like to think of myself as a story teller, conceiving stories in my mind from memories of a bygone era, or as a colourful fantasy set in the present day. I bring these stories to life in my studio. They start as drawings, where I concentrate on composition, shapes, and relationships between my characters. These drawings find their way on to the canvas as a joyous, enchanted journey of vibrant colours and humorous whimsical narrative.

My studio is located in the renowned beachside suburb of Bondi in a large 19th Century Victorian building. The high ceilings of my studio are a blessing - with my paintings getting wider and taller as the years go by while I remain the same height.

I look forward to reading your comments, and please do not hesitate to get in touch with me should you have any enquiries.

With love
Camille

Michael Haag on the paintings of Camille Fox

"Camille’s paintings are like scenes from a dream memory, the magic and smiling time of cosmopolitan Egypt early in the last century.

She brings to life the charm and innocence of another age. A sense of ease and playfulness pervade her scenes. Like gardens bursting with flowers on the desert’s edge, her people effervesce. The women are vivacious, everyone is happy, the seasons are always summertime or spring.

Her paintings are evocative and haunting; with vividness and humour they capture that most delicate of imaginings, the vanished past."

Michael Haag is a writer and historian, who has written for major newspapers and magazines in Britain and America. He is author of Alexandria - City of Memory and Vintage Alexandria: Photographs of the City 1860-1960, amongst other publications.
