About Stan Natchez
Stan Natchez is known for his innovative and creative paintings. Inspired by Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, T.C. Cannon and other pop artists, his paintings exude the power of colour and familiar objects.

His canvases often begin with artifacts of American culture that either directly or indirectly reflect Indians. He then includes figures such as Native Americans, mission priests or cowboys. Intricate “stars and stripes” beadwork add texture to bold works that emanate beauty and joy.
Dollar bills are layered on the canvas as a modern day
buffalo hide. In addition to being a nationally known artist, Natchez has distinguished himself as a graduate student, teacher, director, editorial adviser and legal advocate for the Native American community.
'Stamping Our History' 34" x 128"
As a traditional dancer who performed in European capitals as well as throughout the United States, Natchez developed a fine eye for both colour and composition from the beadwork he created for his regalia. He also credits dance as a medium for building a stronger sense of cultural self-esteem.
In terms of his art, Natchez feels strongly about communicating contemporary Native American philosophy that has been purged of any romantic or stereotypical idealism. He says, “I paint the life I live and so every painting, in some way, is a self-portrait. My art is about you and the way I respond. That is my experience...my experience is my art...and art is my life.
I feel fortunate for having been raised in the city because of the perspective it gave me on modern life. However, without an awareness of our traditional heritage, we as Native Americans have no identity. By taking the best of both worlds the modern and the traditional, we are better able to find balance in our lives”.
