FAR WEST AUSTIN, TX

Snapped a few of my favorite pieces from the show before all the festivities kicked off—no particular order here.

Still feeling grateful for the people that made it all happen, the conversations we shared, and the friendships that were made over the weekend. That connection is one of the best parts of being an artist.

It was an honor to share the walls with such a talented group of artists, each bringing their own style and perspective to this timeless subject matter.

I look forward to sharing some new work with y’all soon.

Hope y’all have a great week ahead!

This past weekend my brother was part of an incredible Western art show. Seeing his work up on the walls alongside so many talented artists was a surreal moment. He’s just getting started, and I can’t wait to keep traveling, documenting the places and events where his art will be exhibited. This is only the beginning.

Far West Austin was beyond magical and on a whole other level to any art opening I've ever experienced. Getting to hang my work alongside so many living luminaries of the western art world was already reward enough but selling all 4 of my pieces really took the cake. Sharing ideas, stories, memories and hearing wisdom of so many creative souls will be something I am forever grateful to @lefawnhawk and @markmaggiori for. They created this amazing event that took enormous amounts of their time, energy, and money to pull off and their generosity and big hearted warmth for other artists is radiating out now through the cosmos.
Thank you to the new collectors I got to meet and hang with, so many artists and new friends--what a weekend! @thefarwestshow @preachergallery @amandasylviemamathemama

Patina Buffalo Hunt and Iron Jacket may seem like very different pieces, and they are. But there is also a key element that ties them together.

Patina Buffalo hunt is another piece in my series: “Cast in Bronze, Drawn with Mud”. It’s meant juxtapose the art of bronze casting with two dimensional rock art and native iconography. The patina symbolizes a long passage of time but it also acts as a layer of protection from further erosion.

For my second piece, I wanted a similar thematic weight, but wanted to show some of my portrait ability as well. So I found the perfect subject, Iron Jacket was a Comanche chief who was said to be bullet proof because he wore the old metal armor of a Spanish conquistador. This was the perfect example in real life of contrasted cultures, history and art forms.

Iron jacket is the first of a 3 painting series called Comanche Legacy. The sequels are of iron jackets son Peta Nocona, and his son, the great Quanah Parker. A legendary bloodline.

I also through in some other relevant paintings and studio shots*

Hope you enjoyed and can’t wait to meet everyone at the show! Western fine art painting of Native Americans, featured in the Far West Show at Preacher Gallery in Austin, Texas, hosted by Mark Maggiori

Where it all began. Snapchat. And this was before you could alter the size of the brush!

In my early work (post Snapchat), I had an instant affinity to western art. The strange thing was, there wasn’t a particular reason why at first. I knew my grandfather was Chippewa, and that my grandmother had deep family roots in 1800s Santa Fe, but I didn’t know much about it. Once I started asking questions, it sparked obsession. Seeing these old photos of my relatives was the coolest thing I could ever imagine. All I cared about was looking into the history and using this information to put my thoughts and visions on the canvas.

I didn’t have a set goal in mind, just that I had to keep creating. And this has led me to show 2 of my paintings and 2 miniature charcoal drawings in the Far West Show next to some of the best artists In the world.

I cannot thank @markmaggiori and @lefawnhawk enough for including me in this artist lineup.

Also quick shout out to Amber @staticmedium she’s awesome.

Hey everyone! I’m Julian Centofante. Happy to be taking over the account today. I’m a California based artist and studied Two-Dimensional Studies at USC Roski School of Art and Design.

So why do I paint the West?
On my non-Italian, side my grandfather was from the White Earth Chippewa Reservation in Minnesota and carried a strong sense of pride in his Chippewa lineage. That pride was passed down to me and became a powerful influence in my life and artistic voice. On my grandmother’s side, I also trace lineage back to 1800s Santa Fe, New Mexico, where my ancestors were prominent figures in the local community.

In my work, I like to bring together elements from different times in history, shifting their scale and perspective. By blending Native American and Western influences with my own contemporary approach, I blend together timelines. I’ll tell more specifics about my artwork in the show in a later post!

*This video was done by my brother @berto_cent who is an extremely talented professional photographer.

Thank you @markmaggiori and @lefawnhawk for including me in This show!
