I love Cathy Cowgirl from Ron English; she’s a common character from his paintings and billboard appropriations. To many, she is associated with English’s ongoing jabs at the dairy industry’s use of bovine growth hormones. Disturbingly, there also seems to be a real life Cathy Cowgirl. Clearly the best art fancy dress costume ever, and something for the graffiti fans and artists to spray over I guess.
Aside from this scary real life version, the latest Cathy Cowgirl Rabbithole 3D Motion Art is currently showing at the Harold Golen Gallery in Miami. But if you can’t make it there then these vinyl toys, currently for sale at a bargain $29.99, will have to do.
