Katie Lipscomb's Cowboys Ride into Naples Gallery
The Galleria Acappella in Naples is hosting a solo exhibition of works by Texan artist Katie Lipscomb (born 1988 in Dallas), running through an unspecified date in 2017. The show presents cowboy figures not as Hollywood stereotypes but as archetypal, rustic humanity shaped by frontier life. Key works include 'Horse(s) and Rider(s),' 'Tequila/Yellowbelly' (exploring the semantic ambivalence of a cowardly cowboy), '3 Outlaws,' 'Pony Express,' and 'Blue Eyes crying in the rain' (featuring paper cutouts). The exhibition transforms the gallery into a perceptual field of chromatic suggestions, evoking a bygone era where being a cowboy is merely a state of mind. The review was written by Rosa Esmeralda Partucci.
