About this event

  • Event lasts 5 hours

Join us for the first U.S. exhibition of Matthew A. H. Lum — a self-taught painter, violinist, and poet originally from Los Angeles and now based in Paris.

At just 24, Lum has already made waves overseas with his emotionally rich, classically inspired works. He paints in the alla prima style — completing each piece in a single, expressive session with no sketches and no retakes. His portraits are raw, intimate, and hauntingly human.

Fresh from his Paris debut, Lum brings his breakout collection Down & Out to Texas for a rare two-day event, featuring:

  • Live painting throughout the day
  • Artist talks at 3 PM & 5 PM
  • Select works from his Paris exhibition available for viewing and purchase

Whether you’re a collector, an artist, or someone curious about contemporary art with real emotional weight, this is your chance to witness a rising creative force up close.

Gallery Hours: 1–6 PM
Admission is free and all are welcome.

Hosted by This is Art Gallery in Johnson City, TX.
