Where The Boys Are 2011

"Where The Boys Are" (2011) by Dave Macdowell is a striking and provocative painting that features a stylized female figure holding a rifle, surrounded by rabbits and skulls. The woman's elongated limbs and large eyes create a sense of both vulnerability and defiance, while the neon-colored backdrop suggests a gritty urban environment. The juxtaposition of innocence (rabbits) and violence (rifle, skulls) creates a complex and thought-provoking narrative, leaving the viewer to interpret the artist's message.
