Celebrating Indigenous Peoples' Day with Art

on October 14, 2024

In celebration of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Galerie Stein honors the contributions of Indigenous artists whose work reflects the rich cultural traditions, histories, and contemporary experiences of Indigenous identities and communities. Here are three Indigenous artists whose work I love:


1. Norval Morrisseau (Anishinaabe)

Known as the grandfather of contemporary Indigenous art in Canada, Morrisseau's (1931-2007) art blends traditional Indigenous symbolism with modern techniques. His vibrant, spiritual works often depict the interconnectedness of nature, animals, and humanity, and he remains one of Canada’s most influential Indigenous artists. https://officialmorrisseau.com/

'Shaman Apprentice' by Norval Morrisseau, 1985.

2. Brad Kahlhamer

Brad Kahlhamer is an American artist whose work explores identity, blending his Native heritage with urban experiences. Through painting, sculpture, and mixed media, he reflects on themes of cultural hybridity, mythology, and the complexities of Indigenous history—all with a punk flair. https://bradkahlhamer.net/ 

'Around the Camp' by Brad Kahlhamer, 2001.

3. Teri Greeves (Kiowa)

A master beadworker, Greeves integrates traditional Kiowa designs with contemporary themes. Her intricate beadwork pieces often address Native American history, culture, and resilience, reflecting the strength and beauty of Indigenous women and their stories. https://www.terigreevesbeadwork.com/
