BIOGRAPHY

Drew Cooper, aka Tom Foxx, was an abstract expressionist painter who produced the majority of his work between 2019 and 2024. Born in March 1991, he specialized in large-scale canvases—often spanning 6 to 15 feet—and took pride in the physicality, presence, and impact that only massive works can deliver.  Although his original path was in clothing design and entrepreneurship (a direction he has since returned to), he was pulled into abstract expressionism for its freedom, its liberation, and its raw, unfiltered emotional vocabulary. 

Foxx thoroughly studied the masters of the craft, while protecting his own evolving voice. His inspirations included:  Franz Kline, Julian Schnabel, Robert Motherwell, Wassily Kandinsky, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Stuart Davis & Mark Bradford to name a handful.  Despite these influences, his work always aimed to stand on its own terms—gestural, large, and unapologetically physical.

Today, he is retired from painting, redirecting his focus toward the business world and contributing to the world on a larger, systemic scale.

The name Tom Foxx arose from two sources: his appreciation for the clean, powerful look of the name Tom Ford, and his admiration for the short, punchy cadence of baseball legend Jimmie Foxx. The fusion created a name that felt iconic, concise, and aligned with his artistic identity.
