GOD WANTS ME TO FORGIVE THEM!?! - Oil Painting of a Frightened Bob the Tomato
Located in Signal Mountain, TN
A scene of distress is depicted in this work regarding Bob the Tomato, a primary character in the acclaimed children’s animation, VeggieTales. “God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?!” challenges the formative life lessons we are taught from a young age that is not always easy to uphold. Based on a prophetic dream I had surrounding ideas of violence, familial relationships, estrangement, biblical references, revenge, and ultimately death, this painting begs...

I WOKE UP ASLEEP - Panoramic Oil Painting of a Bathroom Scene From a Dream
Located in Signal Mountain, TN
The interconnectivity between one's waking life and one’s dreams offers a point of convergence between the real and the surreal, the ordinary and the absurd. Daily observations are recycled into nightly visions, and consciousness becomes an in-between state. Experiences turn into memories which turn into dreams which turn into experiences.
This piece appears as part of two-person exhibition with Jason Stout at Channel To Channel...

LOVE, ME - Figurative Painting on Brown Fabric
By Omari Booker
Located in Signal Mountain, TN
This painting by Omari Booker depicts himself and his sister when they were children. Originally painted as a study for a mural in Nashville, Tennessee, Booker reworked this very personal piece to stand alone. On the left side of this painting, Omari's sister sits in a pink and white polk-a-dot dress with a bow in her hair. She looks lovingly at her brother to the right, who is wearing a black and white button-up. The artist recalled that his mother made those outfits by hand, and he alludes to the special nature of textiles in his history by utilizing found fabric rather than a canvas as his medium.
Omari Booker, a Nashville native, began his journey in the visual arts at Montgomery Bell Academy. Since then, he has studied and displayed his work at multiple institutions including Belmont University, Middle Tennessee State...
