Oil On Canvas
43×43×2.5
Lawmen in the Old West often had a complicated relationship with the law. The modern tags layered over the aging tintype-style portrait of the clean-cut hero highlight a past that’s been reworked and reinterpreted. History is never as simple as it seems and neither were the gunslingers on all sides of justice. “Hero?” asks us to search further to discover the man behind the badge.
This piece measures 43”x43”x2.5” framed with a custom built and painted float frame created entirely by Nathan. The frames are built as an extension of the artwork - rather than containing the artwork as frames often do, the frames for these paintings intend to amplify the artwork and change the nature of the piece. No longer is it just an image on a flat canvas, but rather an entity all it’s own, inspired by street art that is almost never constrained to a completely flat surface.
