KING NOBUYOSHI GODWIN: 5 POINTS GALLERY FEATURED ARTIST - Third Friday Opening Reception
5 Points Gallery, an artist-owned contemporary art gallery in downtown Durham, is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by Featured Artist King Nobuyoshi Godwin, whose vibrant, imaginative work reflects his experience of autism and synesthesia. Bringing together expressive animals, vivid colors, and numbers that convey emotion, Godwin creates playful worlds filled with unexpected connections. In a painting inspired by the African shoebill, King transforms the imposing bird into a potential friend, welcoming it into his colorful world of unlikely companions. Throughout the gallery, visitors can also enjoy work by our Triangle-based artists, offering a refreshing mix of painting, sculpture, fused glass, mixed media, and finely crafted furniture, with each artist bringing a distinct creative perspective. Join us for the Opening Reception on Friday, November 20, 2026, from 6–9 pm to meet the artist. The exhibition runs November 19–December 19, 2026.
5 Points Gallery will also participate in the Durham Art Walk Holiday Market, November 21–22, welcoming visitors with extended hours Saturday, 10 am–9 pm, and Sunday, 1–5 pm.
