FINE ART GALLERIES

Edmond Fine Arts welcomes attendees to join us on Thursday, December 4th from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., for our December Gallery Opening featuring the evocative work of Oklahoma artist Reian Williams. The exhibition, “Provoking Metaphors,” invites viewers into a world where emotion lives in the spaces between movement and stillness, light and shadow, certainty, and wonder.

​

Williams’ paintings hold a quiet tension, figures suspended in moments that feel both intimate and infinite. In his artist’s statement, he describes the work as an exploration of emotional landscapes that resist simple interpretation:

“Provoking Metaphors’ invites you into moments of quiet tension. Where beauty meets uncertainty, and emotion transcends language. Each figure stands at a threshold between stillness and movement, darkness and light, between self and surrender, moments suspended between beauty and unease. The art does not seek to explain, but to provoke. Rather than offering answers, the work asks us to feel, to listen for the silent metaphors that linger between breath and infinity.”

​

Attendees are invited to meet the artist, explore the gallery, and enjoy community during this free, public event. Artwork will be available for purchase, with a portion of proceeds supporting Edmond Fine Arts year-round arts programming. 

​

The exhibition will be on display in the Edmond Fine Arts Gallery throughout the month of December. All works are available for purchase. Edmond Fine Arts is the community’s nonprofit arts organization offering visual and performing arts education for all ages, exhibitions, and cultural enrichment programs. Gallery exhibits are free and open to the public Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
