Artist's Reconfiguration of Castaigne's The Miner's Ball, II
Brandin Barón
Silkscreen on parchment with ink, gouache and enamel (print 3/3)
19”x19”x1”
My art-making process has been guided by previous fine artists, photographers, filmmakers, craftsmen, and designers who documented their perceptions towards the American West. As the title of this series suggests, my imagery is rooted in the concept of “playing cowboy”, and its subsequent impact upon “outsiders” who navigate personal relationships to these historical tropes in order to adjust to the shifting cultural norms of this highly contested space. Inspired by Southwestern avatars directly taken from fine art reproductions, cinematic publicity stills, playing cards, action figurines, animal sculptures, and dolls, I have directly referenced these objects in order to draw attention to the problematic cultural, political and sociological tropes that they have additionally generated.
