Gibson is a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and half Cherokee, and has lived in the U.S., Germany, South Korea and England. His unique combination of global cultural influences come together in a multidisciplinary practice that intermingles elements of traditional Native American art with contemporary artistic references.
In his paintings and sculptures, Gibson merges powwow regalia, intricate beading, trade blankets and stretched elk hide with elements of geometric abstraction, minimalism and the mid-1970s Pattern and Decoration movement. A selection of recent work will be shown, including three, new large-scale acrylic paintings, intricately beaded punching-bag sculptures and wall hangings that incorporate textual statements.
