JustArts Gallery
Tulsa, OK
Elevating the creative voices of people confined to carceral institutions across the US.
MessageCollection: Brian Hindson
"Regardless of what I’m painting, I really hope the viewer is left with some sort of impact. Be it a prison themed work or free world subject. I attempt to make you see it a little differently, maybe even better than the original. My favorite styles of work are both impressionism and pop art. Where I love the style of more impressionist art, I find the subject matter boring at times. The pop art genre I like because of the identifiable items, with the simplifying in technique, be it silks screens or brand name objects, and just the plain audacity of the genre. My favorite artist is Edward Hopper, not only because of the use of acrylic, but because of the light and dark play in most of his work, with the illusion of detail also in play."
Brian is a contributing artist and writer with the Prison Journalism Project, helps to lead a gardening program, teaches introductory painting classes, and has contributed artwork to numerous exhibitions and publications.

JustArts Gallery (Tulsa, OK) is a not-for-profit, community-rooted project fiscally sponsored by The Third Space Foundation. We partner with systems-impacted artists across the country—most of them currently incarcerated—to host exhibitions and public programs that foster connection and challenge carceral narratives. Our space is a hub for collective learning, healing, and organizing at the intersection of the arts and justice. All proceeds from art sales go directly to the artists or their designated loved ones unless they choose otherwise.
JustArts offers strategic support to organizations, educators, and advocates working to build more just and inclusive arts ecosystems. With over 15 years of experience working with artists in prison, we collaborate with partners nationwide to uplift creative expression as a powerful act of resistance, identity, and possibility.
