Adrian Cox’s “Dream Country.”
Currently on view at Corey Helford Gallery in Los Angeles, California is artist Adrian Cox’s incredible solo exhibition, “Dream Country.”
Regarding Dream Country, Cox shares, “My paintings chronicle the lives of the Border Creatures, a group of hybrid beings that live in the verdant wilderness of the Borderlands. This personal mythology draws on a myriad of references and blends elements of art history, science fiction, mythic archetypes, and my own experience of growing up in a closeted queer family. These works challenge how we define the Monstrous and the Other, and propose a reconsideration of the categories of the natural and the transgressive. These overarching themes are grounded in the lives of my recurring characters and play out in the actions of those that wander the Borderlands."
