About The Work
Rendered in red, tan, and blue colors reminiscent of tones used in traditional Native American art, The Cowboy is composed of a mish-mash of references—stereotypical depictions of "Indians," a Disney princess, and Amer's signature pornographic image of a woman pleasuring herself. Most interesting of all is the cowboy, who dons the traditionally masculine get-up of a Western hero, but is clearly an idealized female beauty.
