A new film titled “Catnip” was filming on our block in Louisville this weekend. It was a beautiful day to sit and watch the shoots unfold in front of the gallery and our neighbors’ front doors.

“Strangely Familiar Human Being”
John Paul Kesling + R Clint Colburn
On view through November 21, 2026

Born in Calvert City, Kentucky in 1980, R. Clint Colburn has lived and worked in Lexington for more than two decades. Moving freely among painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, writing, and the sketchbook, Colburn approaches art-making intuitively, using it as a means of self-discovery and a way of examining the subconscious and the unknown. His work often accumulates through layering and revision, allowing figures, symbols, text, and unexpected associations to build their own visual language.

John Paul Kesling born and raised in Northeastern Kentucky in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. After earning his BFA from Morehead State University and MFA in Painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design, he spent six years immersed in the New York art scene before relocating to the Nashville area. In 2025, Kesling returned to his hometown of Ashland, Kentucky. Working primarily in painting while also exploring sculpture, performance, and video.

Strangely Familiar Human Being witll be on view during the next LexArts HOP presented by VisitLex on Friday, November 20, 5:00 - 8:00pm.

There will be a closing reception with an artist talk on Saturday, November 21, 2:00 - 4:00pm

“Strangely Familiar Human Being” brings together John Paul Kesling and R Clint Colburn at WheelHouse Art, LEX. Their work occupies a space that feels recognizable, even if slightly strange. Bodies bend, faces shift, memories become unreliable, and ordinary moments take on an unfamiliar emotional charge. Rather than offering polished or idealized visions of humanity, Kesling and Colburn find something compelling in its oddness. They display the uncomfortable, funny, tender, anxious, and deeply familiar experiences of simply being human. “Strangely Familiar Human Being” brings their distinctive practices into conversation, revealing unexpected connections in the ways each artist gives form to the complicated interior experience of human life.
