United Indians of All Tribes Foundation will host an opening reception this Thursday, October 22, 2009 from 6-9 pm for its latest exhibition Layers: New Works by acclaimed artists Terrance Guardipee and Dan Joseph Friday.
Terrance Guardipee (Blackfeet) is well known for his potent collages of brightly stylized Native A...merican figures with antique maps, sheet music, war ration documents and ledger papers from the late 19th Century. Guardipee has received much recognition for his work. He was recently a featured artist for the 50th Anniversary of the Heard Museum Indian Art Market, and created "The Black Horse Society," one of the ponies for the Trail of the Painted Ponies, which benefits student scholarships. Guardipee's work has been rapidly gaining in popularity and value, and is included in museums and private collections around the world.
Dan Joseph Friday's (Lummi/Swinomish) glass work is representative of two worlds: his Puget Sound upbringing and his formal training in traditional Italian glass blowing methods. He has worked with artists at the top of the glass world including Dale Chihuly, and has taught at the Pilchuck Glass School. He describes his work as "a local Native street kid's interpretation of glass creation," and invites viewers to look for the reflection of his urban Native heritage in his work.
This exhibition is free and open to the public at the Sacred Circle Art Gallery inside the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center in Discovery Park. The artists' work will be on display through December 11th.
