Jeffrey Gibson’s multimedia practice synthesizes the cultural and artistic traditions of his Cherokee and Choctaw heritage with the visual languages of Modernism and themes from contemporary popular and queer culture. Gibson works across multiple media including printmaking, fiber, beadwork, and sculpture, often incorporating culturally traditional techniques with contemporary methods. His work is a vibrant call for queer and Indigenous empowerment, envisioning a celebration of strength and joy within these communities.
Exhibitions of Gibson’s work have been held at Kavi Gupta, Chicago; deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln (MA); and Art Omi, Ghent (NY) among many others.
