Arlo Namingha

Arlo Namingha, a native of Santa Fe and a citizen of the Tewa/Hopi tribe, was born into a family of internationally recognized artists. His sculptural works made of bronze, polished wood, and stone, are reductionist interpretations inspired by the landscapes of his home, the culture of his community, and the lasting impact of modernism. His work engages universal themes of exchange and collaboration and can be assembled and rearranged differently by the artist and the viewer, demonstrating the possibility of exchange and the coexistence of divergent perspectives in art and beyond. He is bound to and inspired by the land, beliefs, and symbols of his Tewa-Hopi community in New Mexico, but his artistic expression is rooted in modernist minimalism. His work is both regional and global, personal and universal.
