BANG! SPIT! SNAG!
In this body of work, the artist parallels Trump's presidency years with America's white male-centric culture. Looking back at the colonization of the West and the early cowboys' mentality, this series stands as a critique of America's most profound flaws, highlighting sensitive topics such as the right to bear arms, xenophobia, racism, lies, misogyny, corruption, anti-intellectualism, and anti-immigration all participating in the collective message that white, male America is great and needs to be saved.
The artist is here questioning the archetypal character of the American Cowboy, the quintessential American hero. A hero who has been adorned for unabashedly taking land, killing natives, obliterating wildlife, exploiting women, and running the "Wild West" as he deemed fit. How much of that cowboy mentality is still alive in America? "BANG! SPIT! SNAG!" unveils the truth behind these idolized giants of western cinema.
