Brad Kahlhamer

Two works: (i) Javelina Girl (ii) American Family Wisconsin USA

1999

Rendered in fluid watercolor and ink on paper, Brad Kahlhamer's two works pulse with a raw, improvisational energy that blends Indigenous iconography, outsider art sensibilities, and American vernacular imagery. *Javelina Girl* and *American Family Wisconsin USA* feature Kahlhamer's signature cast of hybrid figures — part human, part animal, part mythic invention — navigating landscapes charged with cultural tension and dark humor. Together, the works reflect the artist's ongoing exploration of identity, displacement, and the fractured narratives that define life between worlds.
