Artspace111 is proud to present the latest solo exhibition BigBoldTexas featuring artist Jon
Flaming. Flaming creates large-scale canvases complete with larger-than-life characters that
speak to vast and bold themes of the West. Honoring the rich history of ranch hands, farmers
and tool pushers, Flaming’s art draws on many influences: a mixed bag of styles from heroes of
the genre like Remington, Russell, Dixon and Dunton. His style calls to mind a fresh take on
primitive, outsider, folk, modern, contemporary and naive art. The spirit of the West is heroic,
gritty and confident, but tenderly values family, generosity and community, themes all found
within his work. Flaming’s graphic style fuses iconic western palates and symbols like the
cowboy or cowgirl, bucking broncos and rodeo regalia to create a distinct visual voice to
capture the heart of the Lone Star State at large.
