From May 18 through June 15, a series of oil paintings titled "Home Front Aviation" by local artist Stan Vosburg are on display at John Wayne Airport (JWA) as part of JWA's Community Focus Space Program. The paintings can be viewed on the Departure (upper) Level near security screening areas in Terminals A, B and C, and on the Arrival (lower) Level adjacent to Baggage Carousels 1 and 4.
Stan Vosburg's historical aviation paintings depict the interaction of people in everyday life with the aircraft that were built in and flown over Southern California during World War II. Detailed research into period magazines, local archives and the artist's extensive collection of aviation books are the foundation of these historically detailed paintings.
Upcoming Community Focus Space Program artists include Maryana Wagor (June 15 - July 14) and Richard Pradenas (July 14 - August 16).
