Standing Rock Paintings
2.22–4.6.2019
Standing Rock Paintings is comprised of three large-scale, oil-on-canvas paintings and a series of smaller, but related, portraits by Jim Denomie. With this body of work, the artist has cast his discriminating eye onto real-world events, specifically the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) controversy and protest that erupted in August 2016 near the North Dakota Standing Rock Indian Reservation.
