Adrian Cox: Shaping the Garden The Scenic Painters 48" x 60" oil on canvas EXHIBIT                               OPENING RECEPTION Jan 8 thru Feb 10, 2016 Friday, Jan 8, 2016 5:30 to 7:30 pm ABOUT THE EXHIBIT In his exhibition Shaping the Garden, Adrian Cox presents a selection of recent work that centers around a cast of monstrous figures named the Border Creatures. The hybrid anatomy of these characters, with their implied role as caretakers of the land, suggests a symbiotic connection to their environment. As the relationship among these strange protagonists and their lush landscape home unfolds, the artist questions the distinct categories of the Beautiful, the Ugly, and the Natural.
