Collection: Arborvitae: Tree of Life
Mirror Fox is honored to present "Arborvitae," a profound collection of paintings that delves into the delicate balance between strength and fragility, exploring the very essence of form and the intricate interplay between nature and artifice. The title, Latin for "Tree of Life," perfectly encapsulates the spirit of this exceptional exhibition.
Each painting features a singular tree, not as a picturesque depiction, but as a sculptural element, meticulously constructed from shimmering aluminum wire and suspended against the canvas. Inspired by the resilience of ancient forests, these ethereal forms evoke a sense of both awe and vulnerability, inviting viewers to contemplate the enduring power of nature and the fleeting nature of existence. The stark simplicity of these forms presents a striking contrast between the organic forms of the trees and the industrial materiality of the wire, challenging our perceptions of the natural world.
Discover the captivating beauty of these unique works of art, each a testament to the artist's meticulous craftsmanship and profound connection to nature.
