About
theprintspace Gallery is really thrilled to present Mississippi photographer Rory Doyle and his ongoing project Delta Hill Riders.
“Historians agree that following the Civil War, one in four cowboys were African American,” said Doyle. “But this population was drastically underrepresented in popular accounts, and it’s still that way. The ‘cowboy’ identity goes far beyond the iconic John Wayne image, which is something I’ve been expressing through the project.”
The exhibit will be Rory's debut solo exhibition outside of the United States and will feature 16 large Giclée fine art prints that shed light on an overlooked subculture — one that resists both historical and contemporary stereotypes.
RSVP NOW to attend the private view on Thursday 28th of February at theprintspace Gallery from 7:30 pm to get a chance of meeting the artist!
Exhibition runs until 26th of March
