Local artist Ernesto Sanchez “Massive Communication” now hangs in Convention Center

April 04, 2025

Local artist Ernesto Sanchez’s large-scale painting Massive Communication (9 x 20 feet, oil on panel) is now on view on the third floor of the Convention Center. The work is presented through a public loan partnership between the City of Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, and the Convention Center.

The painting explores how we process sights, sounds, and experiences before we can put them into words. Sanchez visualizes this moment as a burst of emotions and impressions—a space that borders on chaos. It reflects how our personal experiences and feelings shape the way we perceive and respond to the world around us.
