George Longfish, A Retrospective
April 21, 2009 - August 30, 2009
George Longfish is best known for his large,
vivid paintings of Native history incorporating stenciled text to
address contemporary Native American issues. His most recent
paintings deal with issues like the 'ownership' of cultural
information and the importance of passing this information on to
future generations.
In 2004, Longfish's work was featured in a solo
exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American
Indian.
Born in a small town in Ontario, Canada, George
Longfish was raised on the Cattaraugus (Seneca) Reservation outside
Buffalo, N.Y. At the age of 14, Longfish moved to Chicago where he
soon found the Chicago Art Institute and legendary earthworks
sculptor Robert Smithson. Longfish spent the next 30 years as
professor of Historical and Contemporary Native Arts and as director
of the C.N. Gorman Museum at the University of California-Davis.
Currently, he resides in Maine.

South Dakota Artist Series:
James Van Nuys
April 14, 2009 - August 9, 2009
James Van Nuys has spent most of his life in
Rapid City, where he has a gallery of his work. He has been the art
columnist for the Rapid City Journal since 1999 and is the art director
for Black Hills FACES magazine.
"I've been exploring various aspects of realism, both in sculpture
and in painting, ever since I was a kid. I studied art in college,
am primarily self-taught, do a lot of reading about artists I admire
throughout the history of art and apply their ideas and techniques
to my own work." James is not concerned about maintaining a
consistent style and never limits himself in terms of media. His
work ranges from photo-realism through various impressionist
approaches to Turneresque near-abstraction. He works in oil,
watercolor, acrylic, gouache, pastel, numerous drawing and
print-making media, and bronze and uses the subject matters covering
the most of the traditional areas. "I'm best known for my large oil
landscapes, typically emphasizing cloud-filled skies, and usually
painted with a palette knife."
