Daily Artsy Landscapes Paintings

One to Watch: Jason Lockhart

When you think of a breeding ground for creativity, Tulsa, OK is probably not the first place that comes to mind.. but let me tell you there are some artsy folks in OK!  Mr. F lived in Tulsa for a few years, so we definitely know some cool and creative folks there ( and a few that have moved Northwesterly! ).  Tulsa is home to an awesome contemporary gallery, Exhibit by Aberson, which is showing an impressive round up of young Oklahoman artists, including Tulsa painter ( and musician, Tulsa is a hotbed for the musically inclined ), Jason Lockhart.

I fell instantly in love with this Lockhart’s work as soon as I saw it in Exhibit’s newsletter.  The architectural elements juxtaposed with typography and painterly abstractions, then add in that color palette and BAM!  This is an artist to watch, folks.

It’s not just the elements being used, but the way in which he is fitting them together.  That slightly hidden “A” in Bita-Pita, the suggestive aviation shapes in E4.. It all just works.  Sometimes I get tongue tied, ok, keyboard tied when I try to describe why I love an artist’s work.  It’s just good.  Trust me.
