Wilson Hughes Gallery

My Favorite Gallery in the Valley… Maybe the State! Very Cool ! Great Looking Space with Fantastikly Incredible Works!
From the Outside = Mostly Glass Front so you can see lots of Art before walking in! + Be sure to see the Murals on the Wall beside the Gallery
Paintings Furniture and Metalwork. is it Edgy? I would call it High Quality Street Inspired, maybe, Very Cool, for SURE!

I went into this gallery one afternoon while on a recent visit to Roanoke.
Wow, was this stuff cool. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the metal work furniture and sculptures by John Wilson. He finds various signage and other really cool scraps from the side of the road and turns them into really cool wall pieces and functional furniture! He’s even got a coffee table made from the tail gate of a ford pickup truck. He told me he could *make* me one too if I wanted.
The work from Suzun Hughes was really great too. She’s got a knack of mixing computer generated images and color that just does it for me. And I love the combo of colors in her paintings.
What really gives this gallery 5 stars though, is that the owners are the artists, and they’re so good at telling you about the other goings on around town in the art scene. Best bet is to stop here on your way into town if you’ve come to Roanoke to take a peak at the art scene. Just ask, and Suzun or John will give you an insider’s view of what to do next in the ‘Noke.
