Walter Piehl (Minot, North Dakota), using acrylic on canvas or paper, treats Western Americana themes with modern art influences and interpretation. He combines an expressionistic style with literal and interpretive investigations of many facets of Western American life. His work is often large in scale (48 inches or more), in series, abstract, and saturated with color and contrast. His work has been exhibited at places as diverse as the Plains Art Museum in Fargo, the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy in Colorado, Eitelijorg Museum of American Indian and Western Art in Indianapolis and the Palm Gallery in San Diego. He has been a professor in fine arts at Minot State University since 1970.
