About The Artwork
"Father's Blessing"
Anthony Gchachu (Zuni Pueblo)
Acrylic on canvas · 4" × 4" · Signed lower right · Original, one of a kind
Three figures stand together at the edge of a canyon, looking toward the horizon. Above them, Father Eagle guides them through a wide turquoise sky.
Gchachu wraps each figure in a blanket of its own color: rose, deep blue, red and runs a band of white and gold down the center of every one. Three separate people, one shared direction. Below them the land runs in horizontal strokes of orange, red, and rust, the way mesa country reads at the end of the day.
Gchachu paints the figures from behind, as he often does, so the viewer stands where they stand and looks where they look. The title names what is happening in the sky as a Father's blessing by a spiritual eagle.
Four inches square — intimate work that holds a room. Ships ready to hang.
