I’m excited to share that while the LUSTER Automotive Art Exhibit wrapped up and moved on to its next venue, my Corvette diptych paintings celebrating America’s Sports Car remain at the National Corvette Museum for a six-month extended stay.
With 2024 at a close, the LUSTER Art Exhibition showcasing realism and hyperrealism in contemporary automobile and motorcycle paintings featuring fifteen artists and sixty artworks, which opened on March 15th, 2024, has ended at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, this past Sunday, January 5th. As the Corvette Museum packs up the exhibit and its accompanying artworks, I am excited to share that the LUSTER Exhibit will travel to two well-known museums this year.
It’s almost hard to believe that the LUSTER Exhibit at the National Corvette Museum is coming to a close, with only a month left to catch it live.
Beauty in the Abstract: A.D Cook and Hyper-Realism Art — magazine interview by Robert Maxhimer, Director of Cultural Affairs & Education at the National Corvette Museum, Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Long before artificial intelligence consumed all conversations related to the blurred line of assisted creativity, artists had often found themselves at the center of the question, “How is art defined?” Art, whether a sculpture, painting, photograph, theatrical production, or film, is inherently subjective and interpreted only through the eyes of the individual viewing it at that given moment. The viewer consumes and digests the art, not as a computer program might with cold ones and zeros, but through the filter of their memories, experiences, and opinions formed over many years or seconds before their eyes reach the canvas.
Myself, 14 other artists, 60+ paintings intermingled with these beautiful cars will be set up and on display through the end of the year. Come on down to the National Corvette Museum. The exhibit is now upon. It’s an awesome show, so come down and check it out.
The LUSTER Exhibit at the National Corvette Museum has been extended beyond its original December 31st closing date to Sunday, January 05, 2025.
My recent trip to Kentucky for the LUSTER exhibit at the National Corvette Museum left me in Corvette nirvana. While my visit was far too short, I savored every moment in good company, whether it was the southern hospitality, the stunning cars, or the gracious staff and crew.
The NATIONAL CORVETTE MUSEUM shared some fantastic pictures of their new gallery, which showcases the LUSTER exhibit, and I could not resist sharing them with you. Beautifully shot just before the gala and exhibit premier, these pictures celebrate the beautiful art and cars adoring the museum through 2024.

For 2024, the exhibit opens at the National Corvette Museum to the public on March 15 and will remain there through the end of the year. MOMENTUM, created special for exhibit features two epic paintings, CREATION and EVOLUTION, celebrating Corvette’s 70th anniversary as America’s Sports Car.
