"Dick and Jack are two cowboy paintings modeled off of Marlboro men and named after Richard Nixon (Dick) and John F. Kennedy Jr. (Jack), two defining 'cowboys' of the Cold War and of course the proxy war known as Vietnam. In my rendering, their faces are swarmed with insects and military aircrafts of the tropics. I am thinking about the scale of Man’s imagination, both it’s might and minuscular depth." — Tammy Nguyen
