Artwork story
The work, from the studio.
THE OUTLAW
From the collection: West of Everything
A figure defined not by his face, but by his intent.
The Outlaw captures a moment in motion, caught between pursuit and escape. With his identity concealed, what remains is instinct: the grip of a rope, the tension in his posture, and the unwavering focus in his eyes. He isn’t hiding… he’s choosing what to reveal.
In West of Everything, the cowboy becomes less of a character and more of a symbol, freedom, isolation, defiance. Here, the outlaw represents the edge of that world. The place where rules fall away and only instinct survives.
The red bandana cuts through the muted landscape like a warning or a signature, something remembered long after he’s gone.
This piece continues the narrative of the faceless rider, where identity is stripped down to action, presence, and myth.
PRINT RELEASE — THE OUTLAW
West of Everything
print size: 30” x 30” on canvas
Two editions available from the original painting, each offering a distinct way to experience the work.
Style I — Edition of 99
Printed on canvas and released unmounted, allowing for flexibility in framing and presentation. Each piece is signed and numbered by the artist and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.
A raw, accessible extension of the original—true to the image, stripped back, and ready to live in your own space.
Style II — Artist Proof (AP) — Edition of 24
A more intimate and elevated edition. Each piece is hand-embellished, custom framed, and finished with the stitched lace detail carried over from the original work.
