¡Colores!; Seeking Center in Two Worlds: Dan Namingha

KNME-TV (Television station : Albuquerque, N.M.) · August 15, 1992

Life is a balance for painter and sculptor Dan Namingha. Balance between the high-stakes art world and his American Indian origins; balance between his distinctive abstract painting and sculpting, and his expression of the ideas and concepts of his native religion; and balance between his Hopi and Tewa origins and the dominant Anglo culture. Only thirty-four years old, Namingha uses traditional themes and concepts in his unique modern vision to communicate an essence of something beyond himself, something deeply spiritual and universally direct.
