The Wichita Art Museum acquires work by Jordan Ann Craig

Hales is delighted to announce that Sharp Tongue III; Seasonal Depression Finally Faded (2023) by Jordan Ann Craig has been acquired by the Wichita Art Museum, Kansas.

 

Known for her large-scale paintings and prints, Craig's abstract compositions are characterized by a dynamic exploration and interpretation of Northern Cheyenne and Cheyenne material culture. Incorporating vivid colors, recurring patterns, and interwoven forms situated in grids, Craig's work explores and celebrates her Native ancestry, posing questions about the languages of modern abstract painting and the relationship to both historic and contemporary indigenous culture. Her nuanced color combinations are informed by the world around her, specifically her affinity to the changing of seasons and their effect on the landscape surrounding her studio in Pojoaque Valley, New Mexico.
