Archival pigment print on cotton paper, hand beveled edges // For the Good Times by Wes Lang, an archival pigment print on cotton paper from 2020, presents a haunting and evocative image of a skull adorned with a traditional Native American headdress. The piece combines vivid, painterly strokes in reds, yellows, and blues, giving the feathers a dynamic, almost fire-like quality. The skull’s hollow eyes and bared teeth contrast sharply with the colorful, ceremonial adornment, creating a juxtaposition between life and death, tradition and decay. Lang’s work often explores themes of Americana and mortality, and here he presents a powerful meditation on legacy, identity, and cultural memory.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
