Prophet’s Thumbprint is a solo exhibition by painter Red Matthews, on view at Saranac Art Projects from March 6 through March 28th, 2026. The exhibition presents a new body of oil paintings that revisit the iconography of the American West through moments of quiet intimacy and emotional restraint.

Red Matthews’ work reexamines the visual language of Americana through scenes that blur myth and lived experience. His paintings distill nostalgia, labor, and longing into compositions that feel at once familiar and quietly unsettled, shifting focus away from spectacle and toward interior, human moments.
