Darius Lambert Miniscus. oil on linen. 177 x 127.5 cm
These beautiful paintings by Darius Lambert of potted plants were beautiful. Typically familiar to us as house plants, in this painting they are unnaturally planted into a very fake earth. The black background enhances their alien surroundings. One questions our own consumption of nature, and the nature of nature itself. What is exotic these days? What is tropical? Where are these orchids, cacti, and Esso garage flowers coming from? The answers to this reality are quite dark, just like the paintings.
