Scott’s Piece Description

Ever had a hankerin’ satisfied…by bein’ roughed up by it?

I visualize a cowman…young in years…whose worked his way across the border from Texas (Tejas) into old Mexico….just to see what was on the other side. He happens into a rough town and an even rougher cantina. Looks were exchanged…perhaps a cross word…he didn’t have to skin very deep before he hit bear.

I could’ve easily called this piece “Bad Whiskey, Short Tempers and Wild Men”. Maybe I’ll save that one for another sculpture.

Most of the bars and saloons Hollywood portrays did not exist. In the ‘real’ Old West, it was often dank places consisting of sod huts, dirt floors, old barrels with 2 x 12 planks laying on top. One may have heard the cackling of chickens, both inside and out. The whiskey found in such places was often made of anything that would ferment and have a bite to it.

Curator Review

Curator Review

Chaos, grit, and dark humor converge in A Night In Juarez, where Scott Rogers captures the volatile edge of the untamed frontier with cinematic intensity. This tangled brawl—guns drawn, bodies flung, and a bewildered rooster mid-flight—throws the viewer into a whirlwind of energy and storytelling.

Every angle of this bronze sculpture rewards the viewer with detail: the weight of the barrel, the awkward sprawl of limbs, and the cowboy’s indignant expression as the board used for a bar itself tips from the fray. It’s a composition that spirals outward from a single moment of misjudgment—“he didn’t have to skin very deep before he hit bear.”

Rogers doesn’t distort reality of the West here. Instead, he offers a raw slice of border-town misadventure, where tempers, tequila, and tension meet on the uneven floor of a makeshift saloon. The piece invites laughter, but also reflection—on how close the line was between adventure and regret.

Like the best Western tales, this sculpture doesn’t need polish—it needs truth, dust, and just a touch of trouble.
