The Museum of Neon Art (MONA) hosts a talk with Oliver Nowlin on July 15, 2023 from 6-8pm.

MONA Talk Oliver Nowlin

The conversation takes place in conjunction with Oliver Nowlin: Lightning’s Lung, currently on display through August 27th, 2023. Attendees will also have the opportunity to walk away with an original artwork by Oliver Nowlin.

Oliver Nowlin

Oliver Nowlin’s work mines his personal narrative and diverse interests. He abstracts stories from his life by conveying them through geometric forms, texture, color, mark-making, and light. The found objects that Nowlin occasionally integrates into his sculptural form (cardboard packaging and beer can decals) are transformed through sculptural and painterly interventions. Inspirations for the works range from his time in the Navy during the Vietnam war; his family; when he witnessed lightning hitting the ground while camping as a child; his time fishing along the LA River; and his son.
