'Rural Church in Davidson OK, ' by John Wolfe, Acrylic on Panel Painting

2013

About the Item

This 30" x 24" acrylic on panel painting from 2013 by John Wolfe depicts a rural church in Davidson, Oklahoma. Wolfe's depiction focuses on the profile of the stark white church against a stark blue sky. The side angle of the one story view features three windows underneath a gabled roof. Above the church is an an expansive cloudless cobalt blue sky. John Wolfe was born in Vernon, Texas, in 1947. He attended public school in Davidson, Oklahoma, and graduated from Southwestern Oklahoma State University in 1970 with a degree in Art Education. He completed his M.Ed. at the University of Central Oklahoma in 1976. John taught art in the Midwest City-Del City School System for 35 years and was an adjunct art faculty at Rose State College 1978-1981, and Adams State University in Alamosa, Colorado 2004-2014. John’s work has been exhibited extensively across Oklahoma and the surrounding region at venues including the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, the Oklahoma State Capitol, the Hot Springs National Park Sculpture Invitational and the National Weather Center Biennale. Since his retirement from teaching in 2005 to the present he is a full time studio artist. John divides his time in the studio between painting and sculpture. The most recent series of acrylic paintings were architectural in nature and currently the focus is a new group of figurative mixed-media sculptures.

  • 'Impromptu #9, ' by Josette Simon-Gestin, Acrylic on Canvas Painting
    By Josette Simon-Gestin
    Located in Oklahoma City, OK
    "An impromptu in music demonstrates its particular ability to translate the romantic effusion of a moment or of a mood. As I am looking through the window, the exterior scenery composes with my mood a complicated picture," says Simon-Gestin. "This piece expresses my complicated feelings about life." Impromptu #9 features two female figures conversing against a backdrop of rich blue windows, a vase of red flowers, and complimentary patterns and shapes. "After studying at the Beaux-arts in France, I have been painting, drawing, etching, making collage in the USA and in Italy, Austria, Denmark and China. In all these countries my work has been exhibited and collected. Numerous series have accompanied me during my itinerances. Questions about identity and my relation to the world mark my road. I wish to express the complexity, the beauty, the ambiguity of the world as I feel it. I paint women and children in a universe of fantasy made of strange animals in baroque situations. In all these women, there is something of me but the sum of all these women does not equal me or I would have nothing more to say." -- Josette Simon...
