The Pend Oreille Arts Council Gallery is hosting “Western Wanderings”, a captivating solo exhibition by Brett Rennison, who works under the artist name Chico Sundown. 

Drawing inspiration from his upbringing in Wyoming, Idaho, and Oregon, Rennison’s work delves into the vibrant spirit of the American West, capturing the energy of ranch life, the vastness of the landscapes, and the rugged personalities he has encountered. 

The exhibition will showcase Sundown’s latest series, “Cheyenne”, which is filled with bold colors, dynamic brushstrokes, and compelling perspectives reminiscent of Western culture. Influenced by iconic artists such as Fritz Scholder and Vincent Van Gogh, Sundown's work marries post-impressionist techniques with modern storytelling, offering a fresh look at Western themes. 

“Western Wanderings” will be on display through Oct. 26, and admission to the exhibition is free. This is a must-see event for those who appreciate contemporary Western art and vibrant artistic expression.
