Opus art is proud to present a new artist, Matt Straub. Born in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Straub’s work features classic Western iconography images of cowboys, cowgirls, guns and horses.  His work echoes the period of transition between Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art.

Straub’s work comments on the violent and sentimental mythologies of the American West, an America defined by melancholy sunsets, badlands, gunfights, outlaws and red-blooded heroes.
