There is still time to see George Redden’s show Maxwell Alexander Gallery through February 22, 2025. For Redden, the Native Americans in his painting are a metaphor for how he feels when he is out in nature, an intrinsic part of his life growing up in southwest Wyoming. “I personally feel a deep connection to the natural world,” he says. “I admire the connection that the Native Americans had and still have with the natural world. They were excellent at tracking and hunting, and really in tune with the subtle changes in the natural world, partially for religious reasons, but also because if you weren’t, you wouldn’t survive. I have great admiration for the ability of certain people to navigate that world, being in tune with it, and the peace that comes with it.”
