| "Ritual 14" (2017) by Gregory Huebner. 36" x 36" on view at the Arts Council of Indianapolis |
In Native American ritual, a shaman will call upon elements in the spirit world and make the unseen visible through expressions like song and dance to bring forth healing to an individual or society.
Gregory Huebner approaches his paintings with a similar lens. During his years as a professor of Art at Wabash College he became a student of ritual while preparing a class he taught for twenty years entitled:
The Spirit visualized: Ritual Objects and Native American Culture. Along with the study of ritual, Huebner is interested in the “unseen” versus the natural world. For this reason abstraction has been his main means of visual expression for all his adult life.
