Sunset paints the plains,
Rider bold in hues untamed,
Westward winds still call.
This piece merges vintage Western aesthetics with pop surrealism and contemporary fashion illustration. The linework and shading recall classic lithographs, while the color blocking and neon hues pay homage to pop art and psychedelic poster designs. The refined rendering of the cowboy’s face is reminiscent of Tom of Finland's idealized masculinity, while the high-fashion influences of David LaChapelle and Pierre et Gilles infuse it with editorial glam.
Influencing Artists: Tom of Finland, David LaChapelle, Pierre et Gilles, Wes Anderson, Roy Lichtenstein
