Four Paintings by Dave Wilder

Dave Wilder

Dave Wilder has been drawing and painting his unique vision of the American West for over 20 years. Using humor and surrealism to challenge the genre of traditional cowboy art, Wilder seeks to shine a light on the Western Myth that we all grew up with. Today, his meticulously rendered watercolors hang in private collections throughout America and overseas. "I paint the imaginary West," says Wilder, "not the real one. As an artist I find our collective ideas about the West to be an incredibly fertile source of inspiration. Not as historical drama or morality play, but as a uniquely American mythology that simply begs comment."
