About The Work
Over the past decade, Jeffrey Gibson has built an impressive practice and become an anchor in Indigenous Futurism. Using recognizable Native American materials such as beads, fringe, and jingles in his sculptures and often substituting elk hide drums or stretched deer hide in place of canvas as a support for his paintings and prints, Gibson creates powerful statements that reorient the place and status of Native American art within contemporary culture. His colorful, graphic, and often text-inclusive works are laden with multiple layers of both blatant and subtle meaning mined from his personal experiences, in turn, also offering a unique representation of broader Indigenous and queer identities.
