Welcome to
RAINMAKER GALLERY
The UK Specialist in Contemporary Native American Indian Art and Jewellery
'BRIGHT PATH'
21 June – 28 September 2019
This summer Rainmaker Gallery showcases the work of Chickasaw painter Billy Hensley. In Bright Path a, solo exhibition of acrylic paintings, Hensley honours two Native American trailblazers: Chickasaw actress and storyteller Te Ata and Olympic gold medalist Jim Thorpe. Prophetically, Thorpe’s Indian name Wa-Tho-Huk translates as ‘path lit by great flash of lightning’ or more simply Bright Path. Hensley interweaves images of these Indigenous icons with complex layerings of colour, texture and geometric patterns.
Bright Path is a visually rich exhibition that hints at countless inspirational lives of Indigenous people whose stories have been eclipsed by layers of colonial indifference and oppression.
Please note – the Gallery will be closed 11 August – 2 September 2019.
