Artspace111 - BigBoldTexas Exhibition on Display: March 23 - June 2, 2024
FW Art Dealers Association Spring Gallery Night, Saturday March 23
Artspace111 is proud to present the latest solo exhibition BigBoldTexas featuring artist Jon
Flaming. Flaming creates large-scale canvases complete with larger-than-life characters that
speak to vast and bold themes of the West. Honoring the rich history of ranch hands, farmers
and tool pushers, Flaming’s art draws on many influences: a mixed bag of styles from heroes of
the genre like Remington, Russell, Dixon and Dunton. His style calls to mind a fresh take on
primitive, outsider, folk, modern, contemporary and naive art. The spirit of the West is heroic,
gritty and confident, but tenderly values family, generosity and community, themes all found
within his work. Flaming’s graphic style fuses iconic western palates and symbols like the
cowboy or cowgirl, bucking broncos and rodeo regalia to create a distinct visual voice to
capture the heart of the Lone Star State at large.
BigBoldTexas will be on view March 23 - June 2, 2024. Opening reception during Fort Worth Art
Dealers Association Spring Gallery Night, Saturday March, 23 from 12-9pm. Visitors may also visit
the gallery during regular gallery hours, Tuesday – Friday 11am -5pm, and Saturday 11am -2pm.
"Flaming’s work lives and breathes the cultural aesthetic of the west."
– Margery Gossett, Gallery Director Artspace111

square foot art gallery. In addition to the year-round schedule of solo and
group exhibitions, the Artspace111 team designs corporate and private art
collections for clients throughout the country and hosts special events in
its distinctive gallery and sculpture gardens. Artspace111 is dedicated to
