Blue Rain Welcomes Two New Artists:

Gerald Cournoyer and Ben Wright

Gerald Cournoyer is an award-winning painter and a member of the Oglala Sioux tribe. The artist grew up on the Yankton Sioux reservation, the youngest of 14 children, and is a graduate of the Institute of American Indian Arts, the University of South Dakota, and has a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Oklahoma.

Cournoyer's paintings are a reflection of his culture. His designs are inspired by Native American beadwork and quillwork as well as animals, landscapes and visions of the afterlife.

Ben Wright draws on his Cherokee roots to depict the historical forces, namely the beliefs and mysticism, of the North American Indian tribes. Striving for "balance, connectivity, and spirituality" in his life and his work, Wright relies on colors, numbers, and shapes to define his art. Of particular prominence are the medicine wheel and four directions of the wind which guide many of the traditions of the Plain's Indians that come alive in his contemporary work.

Ben's work blends powerful imagery and bold colors to present the viewer with a starkly modern perspective of traditional Native scenes.
