Frightened Cowboy 1980

"Frightened Cowboy" (1980) by Derek Boshier is a painting that depicts a naked man in a cowboy hat walking away from a cityscape in the distance. The figure appears apprehensive as he raises his hand as if to ward off something unseen. The background is a dramatic, fiery sky, suggesting a sense of unease and danger. The painting's use of bold colors and simplistic forms reflect Boshier's Pop Art sensibilities, exploring themes of masculinity and the American West in a contemporary context. This work is currently housed at Tate Britain in London, UK.
