Continuing on my Scottsdale Art Walk from last Thursday, I stopped in at the Bonner David Gallery on Main Street to see an exhibit of paintings by Nocona Burgess. Burgess is a Comanche from Lawton Oklahoma and he has a unique talent of capturing the essence of the Native American.
You can see more of his work on this link.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. It's just a short drive north of Phoenix.
His work reminds me of early Fritz Sholder.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to be back. There's always something to see and enjoy.
Excellent link, I do like his use of bold colours very much Sharon.
ReplyDeleteOh, how I LOVE Native American art, and I envy your ability to live in an area where it is so readily available. Last weekI found out too late but a friend told me about Sun Country's special fare sale, one of which includes Phoenix. I must be more alert to this in the future so I can fly to your fair city for several day to visit all these marvellous cultural spots you visit regularly.
ReplyDeleteI was so in awe of Burgess' works I saw in Santa Fe... These are brilliant, I love him!
ReplyDeleteThis does look an interesting exhibit. Enjoying your photography.
ReplyDeleteVivid, powerful work in these, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteSome really interesting works!
ReplyDeleteI could happily live with any of these works, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly dramatize certain aspects of Native American features.
