Grant Adams "Cowgirl Scene"

“Cowgirl Scene” is painted over a silkscreened surface, layering gesture and texture to blur the line between print and painting. This work pairs with another painting, "Cowboy Scene," forming a dialogue about the mythology of the American West and the people whose labor shapes it. The outlined garment floats without a body, suggesting presence through absence—an echo of identity tied to land, work, and tradition. In the sky, clouds subtly take on the form of cowboy hats, reinforcing the symbolism woven throughout: the West as both a lived reality and an enduring cultural image.
