Brad Kahlhamer — Urban Prairie Girls
Brad Kahlhamer

Urban Prairie Girls

Two dynamic female figures emerge from a swirling fusion of urban grit and wide-open frontier imagery, rendered in fluid ink lines and washes of watercolor across a diptych format. Kahlhamer weaves together Indigenous symbolism, city street culture, and American mythology, reflecting his own mixed-heritage identity and exploration of belonging between worlds. The works pulse with raw, improvisational energy, the spontaneous quality of the ink and watercolor reinforcing a sense of movement and hybrid identity in constant formation.

Medium
ink and watercolor on paper, in two parts
