Biography:   A native Detroiter, Alphonso Cox has been creating art since childhood. A self-taught artist, who has been sketching and drawing since he could pick up a pencil. These days, his life experiences are what drive and inspire him to create. As he evolved in his practice, the celebration of life and music inspired his first solo show to display vibrant depictions of iconic jazz artists, from Thelonious Monk to Miles Davis. While still maintaining the desire to interpret the world around him, these days his study of space, science and math are reflected in colorfully intricate arrangements on canvas, both small and large.
