About The Work
A member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and half-Cherokee, Gibson incorporates various real and conceptual representations of Native American culture into his sculpture and collage works. Gibson’s work is also highly informed by his identity as a queer, urban, Western-trained artist, and he often navigates the space between formal abstract language and Native American totems. His exploration of intertwined cultural and material themes persists in I want to make you feel free, a new work created for the Democracy Matters auction. Gibson represented the United States at the 2024 Venice Biennale, making him the first Indigenous artist ever to do the pavilion.
