Weathered and unrelenting, Big Jake is rendered like a monumentless man, more myth etched in the ochre tones of blood, dust, and fatherhood. This piece simply titled “John Wayne II” after the iconic actor, is part of the series “More Cowboy Than You”, a painted homage to the golden iconography of Western cinema, where the mythos of the cowboy was carved in sun-bleached frames and silent stares. Rendered in a tonal palette of sand, smoke, and dusk, these works distill masculinity at its most mythic, when it meant grit, honor, and quiet resilience. Each piece captures a cinematic moment, reframed not just as nostalgia, but as a meditation on American identity, icon worship, and the enduring power of myth in the visual language of the West.
