Despite his obvious skill, eye for detail and command of color, one of the last places Robert Levering ever expected to see one of his paintings is on the wall of an art gallery.
“It's awesome. I'm smiling ear to ear. I walk in and I see everybody's piece and just everybody representing themselves, but we all come together and represent Oklahoma,” he said, standing under the massive and realistic rendering of a snarling gorilla.
“It's an amazing thing that the Oklahoma Contemporary has done for us where we could come in and actually paint on their walls. It's just amazing. I love it.”
