On View: Daniel McCoy: Lucid Landscapes for the Southwestern Dreamer
McCoy’s (Creek/Potawatomi) work has been described as abstract expressionism, Low-Rez, Lowbrow, and Pop Surrealism — but McCoy says he’s thankful that none of those characterizations have stuck with him. “I am attempting to create something new,” he says. “I am attempting to show my fondness for New Mexico and its school of art. It is a lifelong dedication that I have to the painting — hopefully my art will outlast any labels.”
