ERIK MINTER

2026 Paintings

My current work reimagines the mythology of the American West — horses, rodeo culture, wide-open landscape — not as nostalgia, but as raw material for color and gesture. Lavender, electric blue, warm orange: I’m after spectacle, not accuracy.

Acrylic painting of a woman in profile resting beside a reclining horse, lavender and burnt orange palette, full moon disc above.

Abstract acrylic painting of a horse standing in a field, head lowered. The white-and-blue body dissolves upward into a turbulent sky of thick cobalt and white strokes. Bright orange marks cut across the horse’s face and neck against cooler blues and grays. Loose vertical strokes of tan, lavender, and black form tall grass across the bottom third of the canvas.
