Artwork Description

Lifeless black cowboy boots jut out of a rolled up Persian carpet. Nearby, a feminine figure in a leopard print coat sits inside a 1970 Dodge Charger.

This work explores the allure, peril and general ‘badassery’ of the Wild West.

Emily’s mixed-media landscapes are fictional, not capturing a place or region, but rather inspired by iconic childhood cartoons, spaghetti westerns, and the wild west that exists within all of us.

Artist Bio

Emily Handlin 9 artworks | 0 Sold

To me, the beautiful yet extremely dangerous nature of desert landscapes and the stories set there reflect this alluring and perilous part inside of us. A part that many people keep hidden and unexplored. My art is a tribute to the naughty streak - the wild west - within us all.

My landscapes have been described as naive Western pop poster-art.
