LUSTER Artists Discussion via Zoom
As promised, the Museum Of The Rockies posted our recent Zoom chat, and I’m excited to share it in celebration of art and creativity!
Jeffrey Conger, Professor of Graphic Design at Montana State University chatted with artists A.D. Cook and Marc Jones via Zoom about the LUSTER: Realism and Hyperrealism in Contemporary Automobile and Motorcycle Painting Exhibition.
Art fans and motorheads alike tuned in for our live talk on Tuesday evening, April 5, 2022, as Marc and I shared our thoughts and laughed about the inspiration and passion that drives our hyper-realistic paintings of motorcycles and cars. I enjoyed hearing about Marc’s art and the stories behind his paintings. Learn more about Marc and his fantastic art at MarcJonesStudio.com.
In the video, Jeffrey does a fly-by and shares all 60 paintings represented by 14 artists, displayed beautifully within the museum. For my part, I have three original paintings on display; AMERICA, DREAM 103, and INDIAN SUMMER; all on loan from their collectors.
