The Last Picture Show
Paintings by Rod Penner
3 June — 13 August, 2023
The Flint Institute of Arts is pleased to present The Last Picture Show: Paintings by Rod Penner.
A Canadian born, Texas-based artist, Rod Penner’s work captures the visual dichotomy of forgotten towns in southwest America. Painted in excruciating detail using a small paintbrush, he renders each paint-chipped facade, pavement crack, and aged sign in precise detail. The artworks in this exhibition present a cinematic-like view that explores the desolation and serenity of rural Texas and New Mexico.
The Last Picture Show: Paintings by Rod Penner is on view from 3 June through 13 August at 1120 East Kearsley Street, Flint, Michigan. For more information about the exhibition, please contact the museum at 810.234.1695.
