CONTEMPORARY COWBOY
Combine painting-acrylic and mixed media-superimposed pistol grip.
30 x 24 in. (76.2 x 60.9 cm)
Combining a multitude of techniques oriented in a horizontal plane, Contemporary Cowboy speaks on the provisional tastes in American design. Strong, textured converging lines with sharp vertices and vibrant hues strongly contrast with metallic, homogenous base. Highlighting the lightest lights, and darkest darks, bold use of vanta-black hued quadrilaterals portray the uncertainty and seemingly intentional dismissal of design as trends change. Perspective lines, overlapping chaotically are this loss and reemergence of old design and tradition as it is ‘recycled’. Recognized as a quintessential American motif, the Western pistol, displayed as a vector in the center of this chaotic emulsion lurks as a shadow. The display of the pistol as a loose, but discernible form reinforces the universal truth of this theme, often going unnoticed in its rapid cycle.
