Griff Cowan
Marlboro Man

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.
