Western POP
Broschofsky Galleries features works by gallery artists in a contemporary Western pop art genre. Andy Warhol created his Western series “Cowboys & Indians” in 1986, using bright colors and squiggly paint lines. One of his last projects before his untimely death in 1987, it has become one of his most popular portfolios. Broschofsky Galleries is showing a selection of prints from this portfolio.
Artist Billy Schenck focuses upon Western imagery in his paintings, producing flat poster-like imagery characteristic of pop art with iconic Western motifs. His paintings exemplify “the myth of the hero and the truth of America.”
Rudi Broschofsky’s artwork is somewhere between representation and abstraction. His approach to Western art, characterized by “street art,” makes his process unique to both genres. Working with stencils and spray paint, he adds a modern twist to an otherwise traditional subject matter.
