Show will be on display in both Scottsdale galleries.
Wilde Meyer will present a variety of western interpretations ranging from serious representational works to quirky western interpretations. Artists presented include Thom Ross whose stylized paintings appeal to the true western buff as well as a contemporary art lover. Thom’s paintings portray famous western characters in a simplified rugged “shoot em up” style. In contrast, Joseph Young’s paintings show Western cowboys along with their faithful animal companions in a Southwestern version of the Garden of Eden, where everything is relaxed and enjoyable.

No Wilde Meyer western show could be complete without horses. Chaille Trevor knows and paints horses like no one else. Straightforward and to the point, Chaille’s paintings capture the correct anatomy and graceful movement of one of the world’s most beautiful animals. Tracy Miller’s fauvist colored paintings of western wild animals contrast greatly with Chaille’s soft subtle horses. Miller’s interpretations engage the viewer, first through an attraction to bright color, then with the playful rendering of the animals’ personalities.
Also showing are Amy Watts, James Swanson, Doug Weigel, Fran Larson, Leigh Gusterson and others.
