From a limited edition of 50 prints, They Come From Fire is a multilayered offset relief print on several layers of handmade Japanese colored gampi paper.

About the artist

Gibson, a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and of Cherokee descent, is forging a multifarious practice that redresses the exclusion and erasure of Indigenous art traditions from the history of Western art as it explores the complexity and fluidity of identity. His artworks foreground affinities between patterns, colors, and materials long used in Native American art and those characteristic of contemporary Western and global art traditions.

In fall 2022, the Portland Art Museum presented an immersive, site-responsive installation, They Come From Fire, transforming the exterior windows on the facade of the museum’s main building as well as its two-story interior Schnitzer Sculpture Court. 

Gibson recently represented the United States at the 2024 edition of the Venice Biennale. His exhibition, the space in which to place me, marked the first solo presentation by an Indigenous artist to represent the country at the Biennale.
