The original piece is The Cowboys. The form is so abstract and simple that it leaves infinite room for viewers to reimagine. How I interpret it is this: the black shapes symbolize the cowboys, and the colorful yellow and green background signify a field. The combination of the colors create a cheerful mood. It feels as if we can see the sunny weather in the scene. I was very amazed by his use of vibrant colors in his cutouts, because they create a sense of movements in a still piece. The black shapes barely look like cowboys, but the sharp contrast between the black and the colorful backgrounds add tensions between the two figures, as if they are in combat or playing a game on a green field under the clear blue sky.
