A portrait of grit made flesh, Rooster from “True Grit” (1969); John Wayne is again the embodiment of rough justice, captured mid-scowl beneath a wide-brimmed lawlessness that defined an era. This piece simply titled “John Wayne” 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.
