This Is Who We Are
This Is Who We Are
By Steve Iannacito
This Is Who We Are is a deeply striking, soulful, and visually powerful 24x30in. acrylic painting on canvas by artist Steve Iannacito. This commanding vertical composition features two Indigenous riders mounted on horseback, positioned side by side against an expansive open plain. Set beneath a dramatic sky glowing with fiery orange, coral, and electric blue clouds, the figures gaze out with quiet dignity, turning a moment of quiet reflection on the frontier into a complex and celebratory contemporary masterwork.
Iannacito displays an exceptional command of high-contrast color and graphic outline. The riders and their horses—one a dappled grey with dark points, the other a solid dark mount—are defined by bold dark shapes accented with vibrant orange linework that catches the intense light of sunset. Below, the foreground sagebrush is rendered in expressive, gestural strokes of mint green, pale blue, and dark earth tones, anchoring the figures within the landscape. Housed in a dark wood floater frame, this piece is a captivating statement piece that effortlessly bridges classic Western portraiture with bold contemporary color theory.
