Jeffrey Gibson
MARC STRAUS Gallery
Oct. 25, 2024 - Dec. 13, 2015
MARC STRAUS presents a solo exhibition of 15 new works by Jeffrey Gibson, including paintings, sculpture, wall hangings, and the artist’s famously embroidered punching bags. These works bring together elements of indigenous art and craft, politics, music, fashion, urban subculture, and art history. Often rendered in bold, colorful, intricate, and geometric arrangements, nearly all of the works in the show contain text that is charged with personal meaning and political significance.
Jeffrey Gibson is a Native American artist who is half Choctaw and half Cherokee. His works are in the permanent collections of many major art museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the National Gallery of Canada, the Smithsonian Institute, and the Denver Art Museum.
