Large Hopi Folk Art Mask by Gregory Lomayesva, Hand-Painted Wood & Feathers 21h

Posted on July 16, 2020 by admin

Since 1982, Bryans Gallery has represented exceptional artistry of the Southwest and the Eight Northern Pueblos. We have estate and contemporary. Paintings, sculpture, pottery, Zuni fetishes, rugs and baskets. Some of the finest rare examples of Southwestern American Indian arts and craft can be found in our gallery, a brick and mortar building in Taos, New Mexico. Our staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Hopi Folk Art Mask by Gregory Lomayesva: hand-carved, hand-painted wood with feathers, hangs on a wall or sits on a flat surface. X 23 1/4 x 5 1/2. Gregory Lomayesva’s career began the old fashioned way with an idea and a pile of moxie. Dropping out of high school at the age of seventeen to pursue his art full-time, he landed his first job as a gallery assistant at one of Santa Fe’s prestigious showrooms. His cultural background now came into play. Of Hispanic ancestry on his mother’s side and Native American -Hopi- on his father’s side, Lomayesva began to reflect on his heritage and how it encircled him His introspection is evident in this fusion art. His woodworking pieces are bright and inventive and are a reflection of his own personal identification with and interpretation of his culture. The use of a particular image in a composition is a visual representation of a different feeling I’m having. It’s like emotional shorthand, says Gregory. He combines his love of historical western art themes and contemporary Indian art. Gregory has produced two albums of electronic pop music on his label Drip Records. He has also produced several short films. His invitation to exhibit in thirty countries, and repeat showings at the Smithsonian American Indian Museum and the Heard Museum make this artist worth watching. 2009 “Fusion” at Bryans Gallery, Taos, NM. 2009 National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian, Washington, D. 2009 Heard Museum, Phoenix, AZ. 2008 “Muse” at Gerbert Contemporary, Los Angeles, CA. 2008 “Bounce” at Ursa Gallery, Santa Fe, NM. 2006 “More Indian” at Winterrowd Fine Art, Santa Fe, NM. 2006 ” The Art of War” at Art & Industry, Santa Fe, NM. 2005 ” You Can Breathe Now” at J.
