Wily, witty and whimsical: one American Indian artist takes to the canvas with colorful critiques.(PROFILE)(Bunky Echo-Hawk)(Interview)
AN INDIAN MAN LOUNGES with cigarette in hand, wearing only a traditional headdress and crisp, white underwear. On his face there's a look of strained cheer, as if he were posing for an ad. Well, that's the point. Painter-provocateur Bunky Echo-Hawk called the work Designer Loin Cloth and intended it as a commentary on indigenous invisibility in advertising and throughout popular media. The expected visual marker of a "real Indian"--the headdress--is playfully and pointedly accompanied by the designer underwear, illustrating Echo-Hawk's insistence that the Native experience is as contemporary and complicated as any other.
