An exhibition of drawings and paintings by Norman artist Nick Wu will open with a reception for the artist 2 p.m.Sunday at the Santa Fe Depot, 200 S. Jones Ave.
Presented by The Performing Arts Studio, "Art of Portraiture" will run through March 28. There is no admission charge.
Wu specializes in portraiture characterized by spontaneity of expression and realism and a skillful control of light, tone and texture. Although he received some formal training in China, he is largely self-taught.
"My parents encouraged me to develop my art at an early age by taking me to various art studios, where I became familiar with the works of llya Repin, Nicholai Fechin and Richard Schmid," he explained. "Those artists have had a lasting impact on my use of light and color."
The Performing Arts Studio is housed at the Santa Fe Depot. For more information on the organization's programs, visit www.thepas.org or call 307-9320.
