NATIVE COLOR

 'In Search of Pure Water: Dragonflies' (detail) by Tony Tiger  NATIVE COLOR

Our winter exhibition 'NATIVE COLOR' is now open for viewing. It celebrates the work of several masterful colourists including Nocona Burgess, Yatika Fields, Billy Hensley, Dan Lomahaftewa, Debra Yepa-Pappan, Cara Romero and Tony Tiger.The focus of this exhibition is the work of artist and curator Tony Tiger whose paintings reveal his appreciation of colour in nature. He is also inspired by the uses of colour in the traditional ribbon-work appliqué designs of Sac and Fox tribal regalia and in Seminole patchwork both of which show expressive and highly creative uses of colour.  Other highlights include the paintings of Yatika Starr Fields, who describes his canvases as “sensation through color and movement”, Comanche painter Nocona Burgess who has perfected a method of applying vibrant pigments onto dark backgrounds that he describes as “painting outward” and the late Hopi and Choctaw artist Dan Viets Lomahaftewa who enjoyed a career that encompassed several phases, each characterised by a unique and distinctive colour palette.This exhibition highlights the range and depth of colour investigation flourishing within 21st century Native American art. More importantly it is a real feast for the eyes, food for the soul and is guaranteed to brighten any winters day!
