Bridging Cultures
The American mythology of the 19th century in the United States continues to influence our present day society. The eras “radical individual” is revered as someone who can defend themselves. Taking what they want behind the barrel of a gun. These themes are continuously reinforced through the film genre of the Western. Depictions of settlers moving west doing whatever needs to be done to protect their family, their town, or their moral certitude. Out of this story telling the legend of the noble gunslinger arose. The noble gunslinger remains an essential seductive American fantasy regardless of ones background or political leaning.
My current body of art work, Bridging Cultures, explores these myths. My compositions use the universal appeal of western imagery & are created using the modern “street art” applications of spray paint & stencils. By merging the old & the new I hope my work starts conversations regarding our American cultural divides.
