Now through Jan. 3, 2022. Porch Gallery Ojai presents Before the Wilt: Works by Renée A Fox & Mary Warner, Guest Curated by China Adams

Before The Wilt features the work of painters Renee´ Fox and Mary Warner. Both accentuate the flower through dramatic scale, rich color and Realism (in places verging on Hyper-Realism).

While Warner paints her Sunflowers and Zinnias weathered and windblown, exuding a kind of elegant maturity, Fox’s Orchids, plump and nubile ooze fertility and new birth.

Poised at either ends of the life-cycle spectrum, seen together, the work of Fox and Warner act symbolically to suggest a kind of bookending to the compressed floral life-cycle.
