In the work of Delmas Howe, there is always a tension between the illusions versus the reality of America society. His “cowboy” paintings collide head-on with that great myth machine – the American West.
2021 DELMAS HOWE EXHIBITION
Guys and Canyons
OCT 9 – NOV 28
Waldrum Room
OCT 9 – NOV 28
Waldrum Room
The showing of selected works from “Guys and Canyons” is a rare opportunity to see one of Delmas Howe’s most important series in his distinguished career. The series explores the concept of the human form as mirrored in the forms of nature. The signature piece that defines the collection shows three intertwined male figures against the backdrop of a canyon wall of complex rock shapes. The color and form of the intertwined male figures mirror the stark, barren nature of the rock wall. The figures seem poised to merge into the face of the canyon wall. The signature piece sets a tone for works that give a contemplative look at our natural world.
