Jeffrey GibsonJeffrey Gibson

"The first major traveling exhibition and catalog devoted to the art of Jeffrey Gibson, who is of Mississippi Choctaw and Cherokee heritage. This mid-career survey focuses on work made since 2011, a pivotal and productive time when he fully developed his own visual language. Widely recognized as a unique and influential voice in both the contemporary art world and the Native American art world, Gibson blends aesthetics to create bold works that speak to both Native and non-Native audiences...Essays explore the role of alternative subcultures, craft, design, futurism, gender, indigenous, aesthetics, intertribal powwow culture, marginalization, materiality, personal biography, popular music, and postcolonialism in Gibson's exuberant and provocative paintings, mixed-media wall works, sculptures, and videos" --page [2] of dust jacket.
