SUMMARY:Paul Thompson’s “West Wild: American Culture”
DESCRIPTION:For October/November FM Oakland is excited to host the recent works by local Berkeley native Paul Thompson in his latest collection entitled “West Wild: American Culture.” Thompson’s work focuses on the romance and excitement of the wild west as he plays with paint\, line\, brushwork\, and composition to depict various scenes and portraits. His imagery highlights a range of cowboy life\, as it shows the somber loneliness of ranching\, to the rowdy and rough “fight or die” culture of bar fights and shootouts. Within that range one underlying aspect remains: his love for the wild west. \nPaul Thompson: Life of a Cowboy\n“I always played cowboys and indians with my brother as a kid \, and our father loved westerns. He would often play with us and eventually lived in the middle of the Nevada desert. We fantasized being cowboys and when we went to Nevada\, I enjoyed meeting real cowboys. It is still romantic and engaging to visit old western towns and imagine living as one. As an adult\, I took a tour of old western towns dressed as a cowboy. My mother used to draw with us and encouraged us to draw things that we imagined\, so I have been drawing and painting western themes ever since. I don’t make art for money. It is my therapy and as my mother says\, we share a healthy addiction.”  \nOctober 2nd – November 28th\, 2026
