The Howell Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by Dennis R. Johnson at BancFirst Tower Underground, 100 North Broadway Avenue.

Johnson has painted for over forty years, building a body of work that moves fluidly between abstraction and photorealism. His abstract paintings bring an unexpected sense of control, order, and realism — qualities he deliberately introduces to challenge assumptions about what abstract work can be. "My paintings are like inventions," Johnson says. "I love discovering new territory."

In recent years, Johnson has turned his attention to a series of photorealist works, finding in them a new set of challenges and a fresh perspective on his lifelong passion. The exhibition brings together paintings from both bodies of work, showcasing the range of an artist who describes his practice simply: "I live to paint and paint to live."

The exhibition remains on view through July 2026.

On the Edge: The Abstract World of Frederick Hammersley traces the artist’s pursuit of abstraction across spontaneous compositions, geometric designs, and works that sought to break from tradition. Frederick Hammersley (1919–2009) is recognized as a key figure in the mid-century Hard-edge movement—a style defined by precise geometric compositions and a strong focus on the relationship between color and form, marked by sharp edges and clearly defined shapes. This exhibition features more than 45 paintings and drawings from the Hugon Collection, offering a unique glimpse into Hammersley’s distinctive style and artistic process.

On the Edge: The Abstract World of Frederick Hammersley is organized by the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art and supported by the Hugon Family and generous donors to the museum’s endowment.

Local Artist erin rappleye’s Solo Exhibit "okay love letters" Opens Friday, June 12 at Positive Space

"okay love letters" is an ongoing series inspired by the struggle to kindle lasting connections from pixelated sparks on the digital marketplace of love. Repeated repackaging of oneself into six photos, stats, and a series of ice breaker questions becomes a tired ritual where personal identity and physical appearance fall victim to lossy compression. This is compounded by a funhouse mirror of beauty standards and gendered expectations reinforced by algorithms and the occasional IRL interaction.

Rappleye uses jewelry and sculpture as a mediator to explore relationships, gender, behavior, and sexuality. She is particularly interested in moments of cringe, failure, and misunderstanding to find humor and growth in the search for lasting connection.

About the Artist: erin rappleye (she/her/hers) is an artist working in small metals/art jewelry and sculpture. She earned an MFA in Jewelry + Metal Arts with Distinction in 2015 from the University of Iowa. In 2019, she co-curated an international contemporary art jewelry exhibition for 108|Contemporary in Tulsa, OK, called "Building on the Body." Erin is an Assistant Professor of Art at Tulsa Community College. She has exhibited her artwork nationally and maintains a studio practice at Positive Space Tulsa.

Group Exhibition "Women’s Work" Opening Friday, July 3 at Positive Space Tulsa

"Women’s Work," curated by Claudette Torneden, is an exhibition of artwork by women that boldly confronts, questions, and reimagines the spaces women are told they “should” and “should not” occupy. Through diverse media, these artists confront the inequalities deeply rooted in the art world environment, address the systemic issues unique to women in the arts, and reframe the narratives historically used to confine or silence women.

Each artist brings a unique perspective shaped by their individual experiences facing the expectations of “women’s art” as well as society more broadly during their careers, with works created for this exhibit revealing to the audience what only Women’s Work can: our perspective, our lens, our challenges, and our accomplishments. Works include photography, printmaking, painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, assemblage, and more. 

Exhibit Artists: Alex Eischeid, Ashley Forrest, Aztrid Moan, Behnaz Sohrabian, Bridget Trowbridge, Candacee White, Catherine Prose, Christina Armendariz, Claudette Torneden, Colleen Stiles, Destiny J. Green, J.P. Morrison, Jordan Vinyard, Julia Hale, Kim Schwichtenberg, L. Katherine Roberts, Lauryl Payne, Leah Gose, Leslie Hamrick, Marsha Mueller, Melinda Green Harvey, Nicole Moan, Rochelle Lee Hardman, Shannon Cannings, Stephanie Choate, Wendy Chambers.

About the Curator: Claudette Torneden is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans photography, painting, drawing, and printmaking. Her background includes education at the University of New Orleans and Memphis College of Art, as well as work experience in illustration, advertising design, and journalism. Her work has been featured in various publications, exhibited nationwide, and is held in multiple private and corporate collections across the country.
