What
Neon Range reimagines the mythic American West through a contemporary pop lens — where heritage meets high gloss, and nostalgia rides alongside irony. This vibrant exhibition brings together featured artists Miles Glynn and Cyrus Walker, both making their debut at West Chelsea Contemporary, and each offering a distinctive yet complementary vision of the modern West.
Marfa-based artist Miles Glynn is known for his layered, textural mixed-media works that juxtapose grit with glamour. Blending storytelling, nostalgia, and bold experimentation, Glynn deconstructs and rebuilds the Western image, embedding it with rich surfaces, archival photography, unexpected details, and neon lighting. Glynn’s work evokes the dusty romance of frontier life, but with a seductive shimmer — a West that’s both worn-in and reimagined.
Cyrus Walker, with a cinematic eye and saturated palette, channels the spirit of cowboy culture through graphic stylization and poetic nostalgia. Walker infuses classic Western iconography — boots, broncs, and big skies — with the energy of 1960s movie posters and roadside Americana. Distilling the Western landscape and psyche into a vivid dreamscape Walker’s work speaks as much to memory and identity as it does to cowboys and canyons.
Together, Glynn and Walker remix and revitalize tropes of the Old West, infusing them with joy, irreverence, and the candy-colored palette of summer. The result is a bright, accessible, and pop-forward collection that celebrates the West not as it was, but as it shimmers in our collective imagination. It’s the rodeo in technicolor, the frontier with a wink — a fresh take on freedom, fashion, and folklore.
