Jon Flaming’s Texas is now open at The Citadelle Art Museum in Canadian, Texas. This special exhibition brings together decades of artwork by Texas artist Jon Flaming. Visitors will see pieces from several of his major series including Big Bold Texas, Oil & Gas, and Modern Cowboy. It is the first time these works have been shown together in one exhibition, offering a rare opportunity to explore the evolution of Flaming’s distinctive style.

Flaming began his career behind a camera, traveling the backroads of Texas and documenting the abandoned filling stations, weathered tractors, prairie silos, and oil field machinery that would later inspire his paintings. Those photographs became the foundation for a body of work that captures the grit, color, and geometry of the American West. Every canvas tells a story of the people, places, and spirit that define Texas.

The exhibition invites visitors to experience the sights and textures of cowboy life and the Texas plains through bold color, layered form, and storytelling brushwork. From impressionistic scenes to his modern explorations of Western culture, Jon Flaming’s work reflects both history and contemporary life in Texas.

Plan your visit to The Citadelle Art Museum and experience Jon Flaming’s Texas, now on view in Canadian, Texas.

We’re open Tuesday to Saturday from 11 am – 4 pm.
