About NEON RODEO
The Neon Rodeo is more than a story—it’s an immersive art show series exploring creation, self-discovery, and perseverance through six acts. Each exhibition peels back layers of identity, struggle, and triumph, reimagining a neon-lit Texas through Chris Tobar’s Afro-Latino heritage.
This evolving series blends bold visuals, storytelling, and Western iconography to challenge expectations and celebrate individuality. The Neon Rodeo is about carving out space, pushing past doubt, and staying true to your creative vision—even when the trail gets rough.
Because in the end, the only way to win the rodeo is to stay in the saddle.
