Showdown at the Rodeo Motel vividly captures the tense drama and raw energy of a classic Western standoff, the main difference being that a woman is centered. With bold brushstrokes and a dynamic composition, Urban brings to life a moment charged with anticipation and grit, set against the iconic backdrop of a roadside motel. This piece combines Americana imagery with a modern edge, highlighting themes of conflict, courage, and the spirit of the frontier.

Urban’s work is deeply influenced by the rich cultural heritage and spiritual traditions of his Cherokee stepfather. This connection has inspired Urban to explore themes of identity, nature, and ancestral wisdom throughout his art. By weaving elements of Cherokee philosophy and storytelling into his creative process, Urban brings a unique depth and perspective to his paintings, honoring his roots while pushing the boundaries of contemporary expression.
