For over forty years, artist Thom Ross has been inspired by the American West. For Ross, “The American frontier is a place where history and myth collide. It's full of powerful tales of good versus evil... stories which persist because it's an eternal battle played out in the world even within our own selves."

Packed with vibrant colors, bold brushstrokes and kinetic imagery, his paintings restore a liveliness and complexity to often oversimplified, stale depictions of frontier America. "Rather than paint in a realistic, photographic style, I'd much rather suggest something of the eternal, mythical quality of the West."

With an unmistakable style, Ross often paints his larger-than-life subjects on an equally impressive scale. A self-described "storyteller who paints," Ross is eager to connect his subjects from the past with the audiences of today.

Hemmings Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of his work this July (7/1-7/26). The Opening Night reception with the artist will be on July 11th from 5:30-7:00pm.
