Dan Namingha Abstract Sculptures

Native American, b. 1950

Painter and sculptor Dan Namingha is one of the preeminent Native American contemporary artists practicing today. A reverent spirit for nature and the land stands at the heart of his creations, as he celebrates the life and traditions of his Hopi heritage. The artistic influences on his dynamic minimalist works include Jackson Pollock, Michelangelo and Norman Rockwell

Namingha was born in Keams Canyon, Arizona. He is a member of the Hopi-Tewa tribe, an Indigenous nation known for vivid art, especially pottery. He comes from a long line of artists and potters. His mother is Dextra Quotskuyva, one of the most influential potters of the past century. His great-great-grandmother is Nampeyo, who is considered the godmother of Hopi pottery.

Namingha studied at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Sante Fe, which later awarded him an honorary doctorate in 2009. He also attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago. 

In 1992, he was the subject of the PBS documentary Dan Namingha: Seeking Center in Two Worlds. He has received many prestigious awards, including the Award and Tribute from the Harvard Foundation at the Fogg Art Museum of Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1994, the Visionary Award from the Institute of American Indian Arts in Sante Fe in 1997 and the Abbott Sekaquaptewa Award from the Futures for Children in 2008.

Major collections and museums holding his work include Booth Western Art Museum in Atlanta, the Náprstek Museum in Prague, the Royal Collection in London and the NASA Art Collection in Washington, DC.

Namingha lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he continues to create art that inspires viewers, collectors and critics.

Falcon- 21st Century Contemporary Dutch Bronze Sculpture of a Falcon
By Frans van Straaten
Located in Nuenen, Noord Brabant
Dutch artist Frans van Straaten (1963) should be called an artist of balance always searching for harmony between force and movement in combination with space. Because of the wide range in his art-education he has mastered the art of drawing, painting and sculpting technology. However, the classical plastic art of sculpture and modelling opens up the possibility for him to create his own language of sculpture in answer to his urge for art. Due to this style of sculpting, the preference for bronze is natural. After his study of sculpture at the Academy of Art in Rotterdam (1988), Frans van Straaten creates bronze sculptures in which he unites force and movement. Feeling and Emotion converted into Matter Sculpture is an experience of space combined with the challenge of the three-dimensional. The tension of space and movement are the themes, which Frans expresses in his sculptures. Summary it can be said that the power of life and being, the feeling and emotion by force and movement will be converted into matter. The experience of space is being expressed in the shapes and characters in each of Frans’ sculptures. His sculptures of bulls express explosive power while the horses find their strength in being elegant. Each sculpture recalls this way their own association and serves as a metaphor for a certain emotion. Feelings, which has inspired the artist for each sculpture. Powerful and Elegant Looking at the works of this artist, it becomes very clear that one of his most important sources is his background in art history. The Renaissance period as well as several Italian artists served as inspiration to Frans as a sculpture. For instance the expressions in Leonardo da Vinci’s artworks, and also Giovanni...
