Tony Abeyta Art

Native American, b. 1965
Tony Abeyta, born in 1965 in Gallup, New Mexico, is a distinguished contemporary artist of Navajo (Diné) heritage. Hailing from a lineage of artists, Abeyta pursued formal art education in Santa Fe, Chicago, New York, and Italy, developing a unique visual language that bridges ancestral traditions with modern artistic expression. His work is characterized by richly textured surfaces, vibrant palettes, and often monumental scale, primarily realized through mixed media techniques incorporating oil paint, sand, collage, and gold leaf. Abeyta masterfully explores themes rooted in Navajo cosmology, the sacred landscapes of the American Southwest, and enduring cultural symbols, translating them into powerful abstract and semi-abstract compositions. A significant figure in the contemporary Native American art movement, Abeyta has garnered widespread recognition, including the New Mexico Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts and the Native Treasures Living Treasure award in 2012. His compelling works are held in numerous prestigious collections, including the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, the Heard Museum, the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, the Denver Art Museum, and the Autry Museum of the American West.

Let Her Go - Thickly Painted Impasto Surface Oil Painting with Dream-Like Scene

By Victor Wang

Located in Chicago, IL

Victor Wang's highly textured paintings involve thick layers of paint over collaged images from the Tang Dynasty. In "Let Her Go", the foreground shows a modern female figure sitting upon the side of a boat which gives the impression she is wearing wings and about to take flight. Upon closer look, there are various scenes taking place around her in the water - warriors with knives drawn, a jeep in pursuit of some unseen enemy, a cauldron boiling over. Influence by the Renaissance Masters, Titian and Rembrandt for their glazing and layering techniques respectively, the artist builds the surface using heavy paint, swirling and mixing the color on the canvas. The end result is a poetic and emotionally powerful representation of the human form. Victor Wang Let Her Go oil on canvas 48h x 60w in 121.92h x 152.40w cm VWG011 My path through life has been adventurous, exciting, and dream-like. My experience of settling into America in search of better opportunities has been both challenging and inspiring. I use the human face as a vehicle to paint human experiences - worry and wonder, sadness and pleasure - which reflect the emotional stage directly tied to my immigration experiences. I grew up amongst the sunflower fields in northern China. In my childhood years, I played under the bright, yellow sunflowers with my brothers everyday. China’s Cultural Revolution played an important part in my life. During that time, sunflowers were used as political allegories to depict how citizens of China should follow Mao who represented the sun, since sunflowers follow the sun’s movements. People eventually inferred the deception that this symbol masked. After graduating from high school, I was sent to a labor camp in the country for ‘reeducation’ during China’s Cultural Revolution. There, I was subject to grueling farm work. Often, I worked in corn and sunflower fields from sunrise to sunset. Thus, for me, sunflowers evoke both personal joy and sadness. Therefore, to deliver my complex feelings, I use sunflowers as a metaphor to connote my background and emotional stage. My incorporation of collages of figures from China’s Tang Dynasty represents my Chinese heritage and is a constant reminder of where I came from. The texture and earthiness on the canvas’s surface are inspired by the texture of the soil on the farm where I worked in China. Although I often gain great pleasure from the process of painting, it is most important to unfold expressively those feelings within myself. Wang belongs to a generation of immigrant painters from China, whose artistic background was defined by socialist realism but took advantage of their skills and broke away from that tradition to create new subjects in the U.S. “When I was a student during Cultural Revolution, Soviet realism art was among the dominant source of influence and it grabbed us like lightening...
