Big art director creates some mighty fine art

Of course, when we say “mighty fine art,” we’re not being colloquial (or not entirely). We’re purposefully using the term “fine art,” as distinct from commercial art, in reference to the kind of fine-art paintings that our art director John Oat has been producing for years. Still, “mighty fine” would be an
apt description of John’s work, especially given the bucolic theme so prevalent throughout his oeuvre. But you don’t have to take our word for it. John has landed a show with the Glave Kocen Gallery, so you can see for yourself. It’s an online exhibition, so all you have to do is click the link below to take a look. And if you’re in the mood for a real-world visit to Glave Kocen, seven of John’s paintings will be hanging in the gallery partnered with Eldridge Bagley’s Annual Summer Exhibit from June 4 to July 3.
