About the Item

This 36" x 108" acrylic on panel triptych was painted by Oklahoma artist, John Wolfe. This triptych presents an urban environment, employing bold geometric forms and a vivid color palette. The artist utilizes a modernist approach, with an emphasis on architectural elements. Each of the three panels contributes to a cohesive architectural continuity. The left panel introduces a strong verticality through the red façade, large windows, and a streetlamp, creating a sense of depth and spatial layering. The middle panel serves as the focal point, with an interplay of rectangular and trapezoidal forms that suggest a harmonious urban landscape. The right panel, in contrast, opens up into a more ambiguous space, with a solitary car parked within the space. The artist employs a color scheme of red, blue and grey. The deep red hues of the left panel contrast sharply with the cool greys and muted blues. The interplay of shadow and light adds an illusion of depth, guiding the viewer’s eye through the architectural elements. The absence of human figures in this work enhances a sense of solitude and contemplation, characteristic of modernist urban alienation. John Wolfe was born in Vernon, Texas on August 23, 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 at Rose State College in Midwest City, Oklahoma and Adams State University in Alamosa, Colorado. John's work has been exhibited extensively across Oklahoma and the surrounding region. Adept at working in several media including painting, assemblages and sculptural forms, he often incorporates found objects.
