A Ti Plant in Silverlake, CA

80x100cm
Oil on Deep Canvas
Finished with a black wood frame and ready to hang.

This giant Ti Plant sat out front of a Craftsman style bungalow I stayed at in Silverlake, CA, in March 2024. The red leaves would catch the morning sun and create a fire-like glow against the brick and concrete façade.

This current collection from my ongoing Urban Nature works includes some large scale pieces inspired by time spent in diverse environments including los angeles, Las Vegas, and Puglia over the last 12 months, as well as parts of India, Canada and the Greek Islands, exploring the impact of native and non-native plant-life on local ecosystems and environments. these pieces are inspired by non-indigenous and invasive plant-life, and encourage contemplation on the impact they have on the environment, ecosystem, and community.
