Technicolor Pandemonium

Artist: Renée A. Fox

Terminal 1, Level 4, pre-security

To love Los Angeles is to love its diversity: the people who come from all over the world and call the city home, as well as its wealth of flora and fauna, much of which is non-indigenous. Some of the city's most beloved icons originated from other countries and have adapted to L.A.’s urban landscape. Consider for instance the wild parrots, bright green red-crowned birds that can be found all over Southern California. Taken from Mexico for the pet trade, these birds were either released or escaped back into the wild and have flourished throughout the Los Angeles region since the 1960s. Their vibrant green feathers, actually yellow cleverly laid over blue, and crimson crowns give these flamboyant birds with their loud squawks, in flocks aptly called “pandemoniums,” an unforgettable presence in the blue skies above Los Angeles.

Renée A. Fox creates work informed by our relationship to nature and strives to inspire positive change. She has completed five public projects in Los Angeles since 2014 with works in museum and private collections. During this particular installation, her second at LAX, Fox was simultaneously fabricating a site-specific permanent mural for LA County’s new Restorative Care Village at the UCLA Medical Center in Sylmar, slated to open July 2021. An East Coast native, Renée relocated to LA in 2000, earned her BFA from nearby Otis College of Art and Design, and lives and works locally in Inglewood, CA.
