The Boys Are Back In Town - V1 Gallery

From the press release:
The Boys Are Back In Town presents a select group of emerging and established young artists, working with various styles and media.

In the tradition of Walt Whitman, Willie Nelson, Ernest Hemingway, Jack Kerouac and Hunter S. Thompson, Wes Lang has curated a visual road trip through present day America. He and his ten-man band traverse their country while painting, drawing, sculpting and photographing the landscape, the people and the American history and heritage. Good and bad, splendor and dullness, treasures and trash are all ingredients in the melting pot, where the mundane and the grand are equal partners.

Symbols of Americana and the Wild West are juxtaposed against contemporary pop culture and kitschy iconography. War, prejudice, hatred, and hypocrisy are countered with hope, idealism and a strong belief in – and fascination for – the country. And themes such as ideologies, economics, tradition, religion, mortality, social conflict, dystopia and survival are explored.
