John Isaiah Pepion is offering giclée prints of his signature Plains Indian Graphic Art.
"Holding On" - This piece is inspired by all the broken treaties and the way Indigenous people are mistreated by the U.S. Government. It also points to the mass incarceration of Indigenous People in the United States. The piece is done on antique prison ledger paper because a lot of original Plains Indian ledger art was created while Plains Indian warriors were incarcerated. The image pays tribute to all the warriors who continue to stand up for our rights as Indigenous people. We are still here! Women are the backbone, always holding us up, and holding onto our pictures while we are imprisoned. Will we ever be free?
Within his artwork John uses ink and color pencil on antique documents.
