The work of Navajo artist Clifford Brycelea reflects the legends and lifestyles of the Native Americans. Using an array of water-soluble media-acrylic, watercolor, and pen and ink-he executes each of his paintings with a specific purpose in mind. A story is always hidden within his mythical and realistic styles. Each scene is a still life of Native American culture, influenced by his youth on the ‘Navajo reservation in Arizona. Through his highly symbolic styles of realism and mysticism, he is able to speak to the collection, and allows much room for individual interpretation.
