  • bkdbrw print on dibond 200cm x 140cm The cowboy represented a dangerous ideal: the defence of the native Waspish American ways against the millions of encroaching immigrants from lower races. Hence the quiet dropping of the Mexican, Indian and black elements, which still appear in the original non-ideological westerns – for instance, Buffalo Bill's show. It is at this stage and in this manner that the cowboy becomes the lanky, tall Aryan. In other words, the invented cowboy tradition is part of the rise of both segregation and anti-immigrant racism; this is a dangerous heritage. The Aryan cowboy is not, of course, entirely mythical. Probably the percentage of Mexicans, Indians and black people did diminish as the wild west ceased to be essentially a south-western, even a Texan, phenomenon, and at the peak of the boom it extended into areas like Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas.

  • 0111110 print on dibond 160cm x 160cm Advances in technology can be empowering, progressive and enriching. History has shown this across civilisations and societies. But it has also shown, and the present and future will continue to show, that it is foolish, risky, flawed and folly without us raising our individual and collective consciousness and mindfulness to accompany it - to ensure we use it shrewdly, kindly and wisely -Rasheed Ogunlaru #arts #kunst #artworks #finearts #analogue #light #lightcollages #paperism #photomontage #papercollective #stuffforwalls #canoscan #photomanipulation #stories #abstractart #contemporaryart #interspace #interiordesign #collage #dada #artcurator #artcollectors #surreal #ambient #illustration #artstagram #analogueisthenewpostdigital #papercollage #artistoninstagram #surrealism
