This breathtaking acrylic on canvas has the traditional patterns of the Plains Indian’s way of life inherent in all of Red Star’s work. However, the muted color palette of “Young Crow Chief” gives this piece a unique and provocative quality that sets it apart from other Red Star paintings. The powerful stature of both the young Crow Indians and their Appaloosas galloping through the Great Plains is highlighted by the ochre glow that sweeps through the canvas. When fully engaged in the scene Red Star has created, you can almost hear the sounds of horses cutting through the quietness of a Western sunrise. Red Star’s desire to exhibit the rich culture of his Crow heritage has been inspiring him for over three decades, combining the universal with the unique. By combining his vast knowledge of history and his own imagination, Red Star has developed a sophisticated style that exposes the viewer to the depth and long history of the High Plains Indian culture and rich traditions. He has mastered the art of capturing the spirit of the Crow people in a large array of artistic mediums, from one-of-a-kind oil and acrylic on canvas to limited edition serigraphs, lithographs and woodcuts. Even today he is still creating new works, always with a new angle he will expose, a detail not yet shown, or a story still waiting to be told.
