Description
Summary:FOR ARTIST Eric Bowman, The End of the Trail is more than just the title of his new solo show. While several of his paintings depict cowboys riding horses on a trail, there's more to it than that. Bowman lives near the end of the cross-country Oregon Trail, and he is inspired by the famous sculpture END OF THE TRAIL by James Earle Fraser, depicting a Native American slumped over a horse coming to an abrupt stop. The End of the Trail opens at Maxwell Alexander Gallery with an artist's reception on Saturday, August 19, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and runs through September 16. Bowman, who is bringing 13 new works to display, says that growing up in Southern California helped ignite his appetite for the Mexican culture.
