Collection: Southwest

Southwest is a collection showing Shane Armour’s love of the wildlife and native ecosystems of the Southwest. Inspired by years in Santa Fe, his paintings capture the beauty of the expansive high desert with a color palette that resonates with the earthy hues of the local terrain. Amidst these powerful earthly colors, shapes of the native species subtly emerge. Many of these piece uses contrasting colors to embed shapes of the native life that once thrived in the ecosystems of New Mexico, and are now threatened due to human activity and habitat loss. This collection invokes questions of the evolving relationship between humanity and nature. Southwest invites viewers to think about their role in shaping the future of the captivating and ever-evolving landscapes of New Mexico.
