About the Item
A classic American icon, the roadside giant Cowboy "Muffler Man", captured on Richard Heeps' road trip between Mecca and the Salton Sea. Part of a series of pictures by Richard Heeps featuring the torso and head in the setting of the palm trees and desert dust and sun.
This Roadside Giant is called 'Poor Richard', ironic really considering the artists' name, and the sad state of his broken off head. Poor Richard refers to the Almanack published by Benjamin Franklin in between 1732-1758, which was popular for its extensive use of wordplay, and some of the witty phrases coined in the contemporary American vernacular.
This artwork is a limited edition of 25 gloss photographic print from negative, dry-mounted to aluminium, presented in a museum board white window mount and a choice of black or white box frame fitted with anti-reflective UV70% glass.
Handmade to order.
This artwork is available in other sizes and pairs well with Richard Heeps' other artworks you can find in our 1stdibs store.
Richard Heeps’ seductive, highly saturated colours and sophisticated pictorial structures demonstrate a true love and empathy for his subject matter – be it cool, descriptive interiors, still life, portrait or landscape. His distinctive style pushes the limits of lens-based photography. He runs his own darkrooms in Cambridge (UK) where he makes his master prints. His work has been exhibited in Museums and Public Galleries around England and he has participated in Art Fairs around the world and his work is now part of many international collections.
