A society threatened by polarization, history and the threat of collapse. Bringing the opponents together and replacing the violence with a hint of the homoerotic (cowboy's are frequently, secretly fond of each other). Figuration and abstraction mingle together on the battlefield. Using the plasticity of paint to blend the formal and the historical into one.
