About the Item

65” x 35” x 4" resin, metal- signed on reverse by the artist. This wall sculpture depicts two cowboys riding horses against a vibrant red arc of the setting sun. The contour of the mountain landscape further defines the background composition of this piece. Referencing Western genre and the American Old West the frontal form of two riders can be perceived as riding 'into' the sunset, or riding towards the viewer. In Philip Simmons' series of sculpture made of resin, metal, and vinyl, he references pop sources and the news media to comment on American culture. One of the themes that unifies this work is a nostalgia for a mythic golden age in American society that was created on television and in the movies. In this media landscape, cowboys and astronauts occupy the same cultural space. These pieces start with an iconic image Simmons sources from popular culture and transforms into line contour layout compositions. The fields of intense color are created with a cast resin, giving a reflective, gloss surface while the finely articulated lines of the figures defined in metal.
