Acrylic Painting of Apache Gaan Dancers – Oliver Enjady
$535.00
This dramatic painting of two Apache Gaan or Mountain Spirit dancers is by noted Mescalero Apache artist, Oliver Enjady. I came to know him this past March at the Heard Museum Native Show. His work has been exhibited and is in the collections of the Heard, Wheelwright, Southern Plains Indian and Clarkson University Museums. He also has been featured in numerous magazine articles.
I just purchased this painting directly from Oliver. It captures the evocative spiritual atmosphere of a night dance featuring Apache Gaan figures. The painting is acrylic on canvas with a thin 1/8″ wooden frame. Overall, the painting is 14 5/8″ wide by 11 1/2″ tall. It is signed on the back “Enjady 26.”
Mr. Enjady was born in 1952. He participated in the PBS series “We Shall Remain” as a consultant and on-screen actor, and did the same on the Ron Howard film “Cowboys and Aliens.”
