Gordon McConnell, Stagecoach Attack, acrylic on canvas, 30" x 40"
McConnell is best known as a postmodernist western painter rooted in “the aura of time and distance and nostalgia”, the stillness, memorial, and mourning for dreams of the West. McConell’s shadowy riders are specters, forever fixed astride their plunging steeds, crossing ash-colored, abstract deserts. In the past two years, his work has been included in exhibitions at Stremmel Gallery, Reno; Toucan Gallery, Billings; The Arts Center, St. Petersburg, Florida; the Belger Arts Center, Kansas City; Visions West Gallery, Denver; Custer County Art and Heritage Center, Miles City, Montana; and the Meridian International Center, Washington, D.C., in an exhibition that traveled to the National Art Gallery, Beijing, and other museums in China.
