Neon Range reimagines the mythic American West through a contemporary pop lens where heritage meets high gloss, and nostalgia rides alongside irony This vibrant exhibition brings together featured artists Miles Glynn and Cyrus Walker, both making their debut at West Chelsea Contemporary, and each offering a distinctive yet complementary vision of the modern West.
Marfa-based artist Miles Glynn is known for his layered, textural mixed-media works that juxtapose grit with glamour. Blending storytelling, nostalgia, and bold experimentation, Glynn deconstructs and rebuilds the Western image, embedding it with rich surfaces, archival photography, unexpected details, and neon lighting Glynn’s work evokes the dusty romance of frontier life, but with a seductive shimmer a West that’s both worn-in and reimagined.
Cyrus Walker, with a cinematic eye and saturated palette, channels the spirit of cowboy culture through graphic stylization and poetic nostalgia. Walker infuses classic Western iconography boots, broncs, and big skies with the energy of 1960s movie posters and roadside Americana Distilling the Western landscape and psyche into a vivid dreamscape Walker’s work speaks as much to memory and identity as it does to cowboys and canyons.
Together, Glynn and Walker remix and revitalize tropes of the Old West, infusing them with joy, irreverence, and the candy-colored palette of summer. The result is a bright, accessible, and pop-forward collection that celebrates the West not as it was, but as it shimmers in our collective imagination It’s the rodeo in technicolor, the frontier with a wink a fresh take on freedom, fashion, and folklore.

Miles Glynn is a contemporary American artist known for his mixed media works that reimagine vintage Americana through bold, layered compositions Drawing on imagery from early 20th-century photographs, advertisements, and ephemera, Glynn uses silkscreen, paint, and collage to create pieces that are at once nostalgic and distinctly modern.
Raised as the son of a U.S. Army photojournalist, Glynn developed a deep appreciation for visual storytelling early in life. His work often explores themes of the American West, incorporating cowboys, cowgirls, and rugged landscapes with a pop-art edge. The resulting pieces blend historical memory with contemporary texture and color, offering a fresh take on cultural iconography.
Based in Marfa, Texas, a desert town known for its vibrant art scene, Glynn produces and exhibits work that speaks to both personal heritage and broader American mythologies.

American
Cyrus Walker is a contemporary Western artist whose work blends graphic precision with philosophical depth Raised in rural northern Vermont, Walker developed a strong connection to the natural world and a self-reliant way of thinking, shaped by a childhood spent largely offline and outdoors.
Walker’s paintings draw on the mythology of the American West, filtered through the lens of modern storytelling. Bold outlines, comic-inspired compositions, and narrative symbolism give his work a unique visual language. Influenced by early Western illustrators and dime-store pulp novels, he explores not just the visual legacy of the West, but its ongoing role as a cultural mythos. At the heart of Walker’s practice is a desire to understand the world through his own lens. His work often weaves together personal history, rural identity, and a curiosity about the stories we inherit and reinterpret
Cyrus Walker’s work is represented by several galleries across the American West and is collected by patrons drawn to its originality, honesty, and rich narrative power He approaches his creative process with discipline and urgency, producing new work regularly as part of an evolving dialogue with American visual culture.
