Dane Lovett’s paintings work on two levels: The juxtaposition of plants living in jars of water with outdated cultural artifacts — Black Sabbath records, New Order CDs, VHS tapes — suggests the limited life span of objects plucked from the context in which they thrive. But for music lovers nostalgic for the days when albums were primarily physical, it’s also strangely comforting to see them paired so elegantly with leaves and flowers. In fact, if we had the budget for fine art, these pictures would be on our shopping list.
