More than 40 works about childhood, masculinity, domesticity, and protest constitute the artist's first major museum exhibition, which is on view through January 5.
Robert Peterson, an oil painter from Lawton, Oklahoma, has assumed a meteoric rise in the past half decade, accruing such varied and prominent patrons as Lil Wayne and the United States Postal Service. Wichitans have until January 5 to view a vast exhibition of work by one of America's most prominent Black artists.
“Robert Peterson: Somewhere In America,” the first major museum exhibition of the artist's work, opened at the Wichita Art Museum in September. Dozens of Peterson's gorgeous and provocative paintings attest to the artist's vocational commitment to the “Black experience as [he] knows it."
