"Bruce King One-Man Show!"

Educated at the Institute of American Indian Arts, Bruce has shown extensively in the United States and Canada and participated in group shows in Germany and Japan. His works are in collection with I.A.I.A., NACLA and Six Nations Mohawk Museum.

Mr. King works primary with oils in a post-impressionistic style that is a departure from restricted definitions of Native American art. Though the context and themes represented are Native American, the application, use of medium, and resulting effects are based on techniques devised by both impressionists and post-impressionists art rebels from turn-of-the-century France.

As in that movement, Bruce draws from an association with artists who shaped the Indian art movement of the seventies, Earl Biss, Kevin Red Star, T.C. Cannon, and others who were at the forefront of changing the perception of Native Americans producing fine art.

Since that time, the work has gone through many changes. The main result is that Indian art is no longer seen as quaint or curio, but as fine art.

Exhibit runs from August 14 to August 27, 2012! Join us on Friday, August 17 for the artist reception from 5pm - 7pm.
