Sunset as well as Drew Dodge's other works from the second half of 2022 depict imagery of the American West and the artist’s signature canine-man hybrid. He uses rich colors to transform a desert wasteland into a lush, majestic and spiritual setting that enables him to process the past and imagine a future in one scene. His environments are rich with queer symbolism that suggest a sense of belonging and freedom.
