<i>Motel Moonshot</i>, Painting by Harold Fox

A painting depicting the deceptively cheery Moonshot Motel, a road motel at the end of the earth advertising "low rates" and terminal vacancy. Filled with transient characters and shadowy eyes, surrounded by empty bottles and slick puddles, the Moonshot Motel is meeting of California Googie architecture and film noir salaciousness.

Oil on masonite. Signed by artist. Custom frame

Artist Harold Fox worked for many decades as a graphic designer before turning his skills to fine art. Combining his interests in sociology, history, and ethnography, Fox paints images of a Los Angeles caught between stark reality and surrealistic fantasy. A former student photographer and filmmaker, his work has been shown at Cal State Long Beach, San Francisco Coast Guard Headquarters, among other places.
