Rattle Snake Shake

$680

This work is part of Kara Marshall’s exhibition “Soft Dusts & Raw Edges”. Through her work, Marshall jettisons the Hollywood and pulp fiction version of the masculine brooding wild west and examines the trope of ‘cowboy’ from an alternative perspective, rendering figures in hedonistic freeform who are softer and more feminine, imaginative, playful, and joyous. They dance with swag, style, pattern and color.

The work is priced framed but does not include shipping. Upon purchase, these works will take up to three works to frame. The work will be available to ship/ pick-up at the close of the exhibition in early Dec. We will be in touch directly to coordinate.

About the Brand

Kara Marshall lives and works in England. She is a  mixed media artist working predominantly in watercolor, as well as acrylic and textile. Her shooting star artistic career had its genesis during covid lockdown, during which she started tufting and creating and selling textile pieces. This creative pursuit evolved into a practice that has become known at Tuft Luck Studio. 

The predominant theme in Kara’s work is the wild west, from cowboys, to boots, stars and horses - one historically impregnated with aesthetic and conceptual lore and mythologies, with brooding masculine bravado taking center stage, popularized by pulp fiction, Hollywood, the Marlboro man. In the hands of Kara however, the trope is examined for an alternative perspective. There is a hedonistic free form to her cowboys, who are softer and more feminine, imaginative, playful, and joyous. Gone are the stiff scowls and the isolated figure in a vast and inhospitable landscape and instead we find forms full of movement and swag, style, pattern and color.. 

No longer framed by a barren wasteland, their personalities take up the full page. By decontextualizing them in this way, Marshall makes room for unbound possibilities and placements - they inhabit a timeless space that manifests in mood rather than place, allowing them to dance on into any and all sunsets.
