September 16 – December 7, 2008:
Dust and
Pearls: Showing ATTITUDE in Cowboys and Cowgirls
This exhibition showcases the artwork of David DeVary of Santa Fe, the
featured artist for the 6th Annual Southeastern Cowboy Festival
& Symposium. DeVary believes the cowboy and cowgirl are the American
icons of today. As such, these subjects deserve to be painted like the
religious icon paintings of much earlier times. DeVary uses metals such
as copper, gold and silver along with acrylic paints to present colorful
portraits of cowboys and cowgirls who are full of attitude and raw
emotion.
