Repost from @okcontemporary • It's about that time, folks! 🥳 In advance of tonight's opening, we asked John Newsom big-picture questions: Why Oklahoma? Why flora and fauna? What's your process? The Nature's Course artist gave us insight into finding inspiration as a youth in Enid, his collab and creation with Wu Tang's @raekwon, "the sheer wonderment of [his] process" and the pure passion he finds among the paint: "From observation, to thinking, to making," @johnnewsomstudio's said. "It still is the foundation for my attraction to the act of creation today." Step inside his head with our #ThursdayThree interview — and then join us this evening for a celebration of 20 years of his work, food and drinks, an exclusive, wax-only @producerpluguni DJ set and the artist himself. It's time for you to witness these monumental canvases, get lost in their textures and immerse yourself in Nature's Course! Read the blogpost and snag tickets at the link in bio or walk in starting at 6 p.m. 📷: Artist John Newsom, his daughter, Ruby, and actor/director @mattdillon get a sneak peek of Nature's Course, including Beyond the Horizon (2008-2009). #naturescourse #johnnewsom #opening #celebration #tonight #food #drinks #music #interview #insight #flora #fauna #inspiration #Oklahoma #art #contemporaryart #OKC #OKCart #thingstodo #tickets #thursdaythree #blog #blogpost https://www.instagram.com/p/CbfarKFl5CX/?utm_medium=tumblr
