Description

Signed and framed serigraph print by Malcolm Furlow, featuring a cowboy riding a bucking horse covered in the stars and stripes of the American flag. “Taos resident, Malcolm Furlow, an award winning painter, hasn't always been an artist. As a young man he received a track scholarship to the University of Texas and decided to choose art as his major. Unfortunately, his art professor disapproved of his style of painting and a disappointed Furlow left college to become a rock and roll musician. For 18 years he played the sax, bass and sometimes the guitar, playing back up for such notable groups and soloists as the Beach Boys and Lou Rawls.

Leaving his music career behind, Furlow used his artistic talent to construct models for movie sets at Walt Disney Studios. He also delved into photography, writing a book for Kodak, called Close-Up Photography, that explained the best way to photograph miniatures, especially models. But, in 1987 after hearing scholar Joseph Campbell's words ""Follow Your Bliss,"" Furlow decided to go back to his first love, painting.

Furlow began drawing American Indians at the age of six, when his father had Malcolm accompany him on business trips throughout New Mexico. Beginning with watercolors, Furlow realized the medium was ill suited for large canvases and switched to brightly colored acrylic images of Native Americans. In all his works, Furlow strives to show his deep admiration and respect for his Choctaw heritage.

About his subject matter and painting style, Furlow has said, ""I knew I wanted to say it with color because that's the emotion of it. I've got to make the viewer feel what I feel . All I'm trying to do is paint them as they are - paint their culture, their dignity and their stature . I didn't want to do portraits of Indians, I wanted to say something about the human condition."" He paints two worlds: the Native American and their place in the Anglo World. In addition, Furlow rides and decorates motorcycles.

A recently filmed documentary entitled the ""Life and Art of Malcolm Furlow, ""refers to him as a ""Renaissance Man"": the quintessential cowboy, musician, and intellectual artist. He is an award-winning painter, whose accolades include the Silver award from the Sorbonne, and the highly coveted Gold Award from the world-renown Luxembourg Museum, Paris. PBS featured him in a documentary called ""The Life and Art of Malcolm Furlow"", he was also awarded the Gold Award from the Luxembourg in Paris (an honor shared with Pablo Picasso)

As of spring 2007, Furlow has ""sold-out"" over fifty solo shows. Malcolm Furlow's paintings command principal placement in exhibitions, philanthropist campaigns, and private collections around the world, including the U.S. Embassies of Morocco, Belgium and Beijing; the White House; CEO Magazine; The Smithsonian; Mobil Oil; Arnold Schwarzenegger; Samuel Goldwyn; Richard Pryor; Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush; Senator Hillary Clinton; Bernadette Peters; Wes Studi; Phyllis Diller; William DeVane; B.J. Thomas; Jane Goodall Institute; Darryl Hannah; Eiteljorg Museum; Jon Bon Jovi; National Wildlife Museum; Koshare Museum; Santa Fe Fine Arts Museum; Paul Clarkson; Coca Cola Olympic Pavilion; Make a Wish Foundation; NBC's Today Show; Raymond James Financial Art Collection; Columbia University; and many others Malcolm is equally celebrated in the industry of Model Railroading. He has written several ""How-To"" books for Kodak photograghy, worked as a photogragher for Italian Vouge . Malcolm has also written several ""How-To"" books for Model Railroading. His published articles about photograghy and model railroading are inumerable.”
