Captivated by the American west, photographer Steve Wrubel has dedicated his lens to the rodeo ring since 2019. “Rodeo Revisited” features large-scale photographs that bring the rodeo to the walls of the gallery. These images capture split second between rider and animal, showing the power and stamina of both athletes. The rodeo is a way of life largely untouched by modernity. Like the cowboys he follows, Wrubel values the skill and connection it takes to work with animals and land. Both seek to tame the wild, if only for a few fleeting seconds. Through these moments, Steve captures the raw beauty of the American West—an image of both artistry and enduring spirit.
