Marcus Amerman Art
Native American, b. 1959
Marcus Amerman is a Choctaw bead artist, painter, fashion designer, and performance artist. He was born in 1959 in Phoenix, Arizona.
At the age of ten, his aunt taught him the techniques of Native American beadwork and he is now renown for his highly realistic beadwork portraits. Amerman has portrayed many historical heroes in his beadwork, such Chief Joseph, pop icons such as Janet Jackson, and imagery inspired by comic superheroes.
He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. He also studied the Institute of American Indian Arts and the Anthropology Film Center.
Amerman's work is in the collections of the George Gustav Heye Center, the National Museum of the American Indian, the American Museum of Natural History, the Heard Museum, the Portland Art Museum, the Sequoyah National Research Center, and the Museum of Arts and Design.

“Tiny Mint Green Jacket, ” Steel Sculpture
By Gordon Chandler
Located in Chicago, IL
Upon discovering a weathered steel drum that had been warped to resemble the sleeve of a garment, artist Gordon Chandler was inspired to embark on a series of kimono sculptures formed from found metal scraps. With an eye to the aesthetic possibilities of this humble material, Chandler invests the reclaimed steel with sculptural fluidity and a wry sense of form.
Flattened with the center portion rolled out and the sides left open, this discarded barrel takes on the look of a miniature jacket. Coated with a mint green finish, the eroded metal appears as draped fabric, folded back to form a simple collar. The sculpture is finished with the artist's initials stamped...

Located in Chicago, IL
Entitled "Tree Talk," this exquisite painting by Chinese artist Ren Hui celebrates the beauty of nature with an abstracted view of a tangle of tree branches. Using a style he calls “uncomplicated and honest,” the artist creates beautiful pointillist compositions that reference the underlying dot matrix of a photograph.
