Clifford
Brycelea is a quiet,
thoughtful man. Like most men of this type, when he makes a
statement,
it usually carries weight. The award winning Navajo artist
realizes
that he has the power to influence and reach many people with his
painting.
He regards this ability to make a statement with respect.
Brycelea is a mystical artist, a spiritual
artist and a realist. There
is much in the mystical and spiritual that is real and he tries to
bring
that to the people that appreciate his paintings. His subjects
nearly
always reflect a culture and belief of Native Americans. He
paints
their legends, their stories, and their lifestyles. Brycelea does
not limit his subjects to the Navajo for he has studied many Indian
cultures
and found that they share a great deal.
He has been winning awards for his art since
he was ten years old.
Since graduating from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, he has
shown
his work in galleries across the country, illustrated magazines
articles
and books and experimented in different techniques.
While his style can not be stereotyped, the
quality of his work is well
known among Indian art lovers. He continues to win awards, among
them three gold medals from the American Indian Cowboy Artists Society,
and Indian Arts & Crafts Association 1987 Artist-Of-The-Year.
In every Brycelea painting there is a
story. For every person,
the story is different. The artist leaves that to you.
