Adrian Larvie wants
to find a way, through his art, to serve as a guide for people in despair, to inspire those who wish to work on their personal
challenges by leading them back to their culture. He hopes to help those still
in their addictions to see, as he has, that there are other, much happier paths to travel. An Oglala Lakota,
Adrian was born in 1958 on the Pine Ridge Reservation in Adrian is a multi-faceted
artist who works with acrylics, oils and pastels on large canvases that are notable for fine matting and framing. He also creates sculptures, featuring Native American themes in soapstone, pipestone, and alabaster. One of his murals, a portrait of four Yakama chiefs, can be found on the south
side of a building in Adrian’s
work is vibrant, featuring portraits of proud Native men and women in the colorful regalia of the Plains, as well as such
well-known historical icons of Native history as Crazy Horse, Black Elk, Chief Joseph, Red Cloud and many others who are depicted
along with power symbols embodying such concepts as spirituality, strength, creativity, wealth and wisdom. Some of his work makes explicit comments about the need for Americans to pay more attention to environmental
issues; others focus on Adrian’s implicit wish to heighten the understanding of viewers about his culture and traditions
and the spiritual and physical needs and goals of his people. Adrian’s work
can be seen in galleries in Oregon, |
