About the Item

Marlboro Man is a powerful large-scale mixed media work by emerging artist Griff Cowan. Featuring three distinct figures positioned within a dynamic, almost cinematic perspective, the piece draws viewers into an intense visual narrative. Layers of acrylic, aerosol, oil stick, streaker, and paper collide on canvas, creating a textured, immersive scene. A Marlboro filter cigarette box in the top right corner anchors the composition with a pointed cultural reference, evoking themes of identity, masculinity, and nostalgia. As both a visual artist and published songwriter, Cowan blends lyrical storytelling with raw expressive force, making each piece resonate on multiple sensory levels. At 84 x 60 inches, Marlboro Man commands attention. The scale, movement, and layered symbolism reflect Cowan’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of conventional artistry. The figures feel caught between presence and abstraction—strikingly human, yet part of a constructed mythos. At just 34, Cowan’s work is gaining momentum with collectors, galleries, and cultural tastemakers who recognize his ability to challenge expectations while staying deeply emotive and accessible.

Have You Seen This Person
By Casey McGlynn
Located in Bozeman, MT
This is a very active and textured painting in a vertical composition. There are multiples collages on a blue background. The main focus is a person in red holding a a black star, along with other figures and lit up homes. Paint also drips down that canvas. At the bottom of the painting is a grey Saturn. To see more images of this piece, please message us. Casey McGlynn grew up in rural Ontario, where he would sit in front of the television and draw on old grocery bags and scrap paper tirelessly, creating self-taught surrealist pop art. McGlynn attended the Ontario College of Art and Design, however, he was not enrolled in the visual arts. McGlynn’s work contains reoccurring symbols such as animals from his upbringing, birds from his studio window sill and numbers that derive from when he memorized math tables in his early years. McGlynn’s work is as much about revealing the truth and expressing emotions as it is about documenting actual fact. His paintings reach into a wealth of historical influence and skill. Creating symphonic glyphs on rudimentary, raw quilt-like patterns, the works simultaneously evoke rural Southern quilts...
