Denomie, Jim

Jim Denomie (1955–2022) (Ojibwe) was a prolific artist, creating vividly hued paintings, works on paper, and sculptures that aimed a critical lens on the history of Indigenous people and their intersections with mainstream culture.

Selected solo exhibitions of his work include Challenging the Narrative at Michigan’s Muskegon Museum of Art (2020–2021), Standing Rock Paintings at Bockley Gallery (2019), and Jim Denomie: Paintings at ProjekTraum FN in Friedrichshafen, Germany (2015).
