In Re-Western, painted Felice House reimagines scenes from classic westerns with the likes of James Dean, Clint Eastwood and John Wayne replaced with women in the starring roles.
In addition to being superb paintings, House’s work is a provocation about “portraying women without objectifying them [as] an intentional and political act.” Pictured above: “Stasha Dean in ‘Giant,’ 2013. Oil on canvas, 90” x 60".“
