“NICHOLAS GALANIN
Dyani White Hawk (John and Geraldine Lilley Museum of Art, Reno, NV)
A member of the Sicangu Lakota tribe, Dyani White Hawk makes paintings that interrogate and interweave the trajectories of modernist abstraction and Indigenous American artistic practice. In titling her solo exhibition at the Lilley Museum of Art “See Her,” White Hawk honored the artistic contributions of Native American women, whose work remains unacknowledged by the many artists it has influenced.”
