Exhibit: Solomon & Fox "Floral Bursts" In-Person
Floral Bursts is a collaborative project by artists Darren Haper and John Sousa, working together under the shared pseudonym Solomon & Fox. Longtime friends with established individual practices, the two artists created this collaboration as a joyful departure from their solo work—an opportunity to explore spontaneity, play, and shared intuition.
Each painting is developed simultaneously by both artists in a loose, energetic exchange. The process is highly responsive: when one artist reaches an impasse, the other steps in, pushing the work forward until a mutual sense of resolution is achieved. This back-and-forth dialogue fuels the series' vitality and keeps the creative momentum alive.
The resulting works are vibrant, expressive, and celebratory—blending references to the natural world with bold painterly abstraction. Floral Bursts reflects not only a shared visual language but also the trust, humor, and creative freedom that come from years of friendship. The series has been enthusiastically received, resonating with viewers through its color, movement, and sense of joyful collaboration.
