60 x 48" / Oil & Mixed Media on Canvas
THE SUMMER AFTER TRUMP'S ELECTION, Horton Trippe visited the non-profit Santa Fe YouthWorks and met a confident, elegant woman leaning against her low-rider in the parking lot. She was the President of the Española Low Rider Club, "a young woman with foot high hair and eyeliner winged to the moon” who, with a pocketful of wrenches, was dismantling the patriarchy bolt by bolt. This woman became the impetus for a body of new work — an exploration of command in the feminine — and provided a colorful palette for Horton-Trippe's own celebratory cry of No More to the suppression of women in our culture. On huge canvasses, in colors and gestures that celebrate the reunification of nature and power, Horton-Trippe creates fertile territory in which big hair, hot pink, and shiny surfaces are elevated to an aesthetic of honor.
A portion of the sale of these works will be donated to Santa Fe Youthworks.
