It’s a smorgasbord of creativity that invites every passerby to stop and admire the creativity of Tennessee’s local artists. Each corner of the terminal is designed to integrate public art exhibits, making every walk through the airport feel like a cultural experience.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the talented artists whose works are part of this vibrant collection. Barbara Bullard captivates audiences with her striking watercolor paintings, which beautifully capture fleeting moments and emotions through symbolic objects. Meanwhile, Sean Coffey, hailing from Memphis, specializes in mural painting and interactive space design that intriguingly blends urban life with the natural world, creating a dynamic visual experience.
Alan Finch takes a different approach with his work in spontaneous abstract expressionism. He artfully combines photography with painting and mixed media, bringing a unique visual language to life. Then there’s Wansoo Kim, a talented ceramic sculptor who’s recognized for his works exhibited throughout the United States. He now passes on his skills as a teacher at Austin Peay State University, helping guide the next generation of artists.
Jennifer Luna brings a burst of energy to the series with her vibrant wood block prints, which deftly explore the intricate relationship between humanity and the natural world. Adding to the mix, Anna Togrye, a self-taught artist, finds inspiration from animals and geological forms, crafting wonderful metal and clay sculptures. Rounding out the lineup, Ginny Togrye artfully merges art with science, creating unusual textured, three-dimensional paintings that beckon the viewer to get closer and explore.
The aim of the Flying Solo series goes beyond merely showcasing art. It’s about enriching the cultural experience for travelers and visitors who pass through BNA. The Arts at the Airport program was established back in 1988 to highlight the diverse arts scene in Tennessee. By featuring local artists, BNA not only brings cultural beauty but also a sense of community to the airport environment.
