About the Item

Born and raised in rural Colorado, Gordon McConnell is a native Western artist whose work bridge classical art history, film, and contemporary painting. He earned a Master’s degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder (1979) after studying at Baylor University and CalArts. In 1982, he moved to Montana, serving for two decades as curator at the Yellowstone Art Museum before dedicating himself full-time to painting and independent curations. Artistic Style & Themes - Post-Western Abstraction: Rejects traditional gear-inventory Western art in favor of stark, graphic, and painterly compositions charged with abstract energy. - Cinematic & Television Mediation: Captures fugitive, 24-frame-per-second media stills—translating TV light, film fragments, and "primal shadows" onto static canvas. - Classical & Film Influences: Examines the continuum between 19th-century illustrators Frederic Remington and Charlie Russell and cinematic directors like John Ford, Howard Hawks, and William Wyler. - Expanded Subject Matter: Features iconic Western motifs (cowboys, stagecoaches, cavalry) alongside mid-century romance, Mexican graphic novelas, aviation, motorcycles, and aquatic light reflections.
