The hyperrealism of James Andrew Smith and the extraordinary porcelain creations of Owen Mann capture blooms at a moment of perfection that seems to hover just above reality. Through meticulous detail and refined craftsmanship, both artists elevate natural forms, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the quiet intensity of beauty found in the natural world. Their works balance precision and sensitivity, transforming familiar floral subjects into moments of heightened presence.

While working in distinct mediums, Smith and Mann share an approach that emphasizes both the simplicity and abundance of life’s beauty. Smith’s hyperrealist paintings render blossoms with striking clarity, while Mann’s porcelain sculptures translate organic forms into delicate yet enduring objects. Together, their practices underscore a shared reverence for nature and the fleeting moments it offers.

James Andrew Smith lives and works in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Owen Mann lives and works in Greenough, Montana. This exhibition marks Smith’s fifth show in Texas and Mann’s first, bringing their practices into dialogue and offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience their work side by side.
