Tribal Art<br />
Jerry Fogg shows work at<br />
Pearson Lakes Art Center<br />
Art that tells a story. Art with a strong<br />
sense of history.<br />
Yankton Sioux Tribal Artist Jerry<br />
Fogg (Wanagi Tatanka) has a new exhibit on<br />
display at Pearson Lakes Art Center in Okoboji.<br />
The through June 11 in the the Weaver<br />
Lobby Gallery and McIlrath Landing.<br />
Fogg was born in Los Angeles, CA, and<br />
grew up near Fort Thompson, SD, on the<br />
Crow Creek Reservation. He attended Flandreau<br />
Indian School in Flandreau, SD, and<br />
Dakota State College in Madison, SD.<br />
A self-taught artist, Fogg uses materials<br />
from native culture to create unique works of<br />
art.<br />
“He really pays close attention to detail<br />
and I find it really interesting how he recycles<br />
old items giving them new life,” Pearson<br />
Exhibit<br />
Lakes Art Center education director Holly<br />
Zinn said.<br />
This interesting and intriguing mixed<br />
media approach especially enhances the traditional<br />
and contemporary Native American<br />
themes, historical periods and tribal legends<br />
that Fogg chooses to explore.<br />
Detailed pencil drawings, painting, bead<br />
work and more can either stand alone or<br />
combine into a mixed media masterpiece.<br />
“He takes time figuring out how to uses<br />
different materials to his advantage, putting<br />
them to their best use and tying them to history,”<br />
Zinn said.<br />
Stop by and explore Jerry Fogg’s artistic<br />
view of tribal history, legend and much more<br />
at Pearson Lakes Art Center. F<br />
