Welcome to

RAINMAKER GALLERY

The UK Specialist in Contemporary Native American Indian Art and Jewellery

'Golden Field 2024' acrylic on canvas by Rick Grimster
COLORFIELDS, 27 September - 1 November 2024

Rainmaker Gallery is delighted to welcome back Rick Grimster (b.1945) who burst onto the art scene last year with two hugely successful solo shows.

‘COLORFIELDS’, presents his latest works on paper alongside earlier paintings on canvas. Together these artworks reflect a growing sense of belonging as Grimster embraces his changing identity from adoptee to Indigenous elder. Grimster’s unmistakable colour sensibility and mastery of texture is ever present, as is his enduring love of the land.

“In these works I try to represent how man has influenced ancient landscapes.” – Rick Grimster

Rick Grimster is a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. His birth father, Freeman Marshall (1909-2000), was a Native American GI based in England during World War II.

Rick Grimster’s monumental abstract artworks from the 1970’s are destined for a forthcoming solo exhibition at a museum in the USA.

COLORFIELDS exhibition opening Friday 27 September 5-7pm, Gallery Talk 4-5pm.
