BoxingBabes & Cowgirls

The exhibition, BoxingBabes & Cowgirls, showcases Cheryl Gross’ most recent body of work which celebrates both real and fictitious cowgirls and women boxers as heroines. By embracing freedom, breaking boundaries, and eschewing outdated forms of gender identity, Gross created these series out of her fantasy, memory, and research of historical and contemporary women in boxing, sharpshooting, and rodeo performance. Gross’ colorful paintings honor these lesser-known trailblazers in American history with a unique style which combines kinetic splatters and illustrative figuration.
