| Kirby Sattler
is non-Native and this is part of a collection we purchased.
His art work is fueled by an inherent interest in the Indigenous Peoples
of the Earth.
His Native American Indian portraits evolve from the history, ceremony,
mythology, and spirituality of the Plains Indian. Sattler's ultra-detailed
interpretations examine the inseparable relationship between the Indian
and his natural world, reflecting a culture that had no hard line between
the sacred and the mundane.
Sattler has developed his painting into a distinctive
style of realism. The methodology involves the painstaking layering
of transparent washes over multiple underpaintings. This technique results
in canvases that are rich in detail, defined textures and surfaces.
With the deliberate precision given to each work, he produces only a
few paintings each year.
