BIO:

Ed Singer is a Navajo Artist born and raised on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. His superb draftsmanship and realistic view of Navajo life, a view often laced with subtle humor derived from the contrast of traditional Navajo ways with modern life, place him at the forefront of contemporary art. Singer is the first Navajo artist to show his people as they really are, living their day-to-day lives under trying conditions a White Man's world. Singer, unlike his much older contemporary, R. C. Gorman, chooses to live on the reservation with his people, the inspiration for his art.

Art has been a dominant part of Singer's life and schooling. He studied art at Southern Utah State College and Northern Arizona University. Following college, he devoted his energies to establishing himself as a full-time artist.

He is known for his paintings of traditional Indians - most often a single figure. He places them in contemporary settings as if to suggest the struggle of today's Navajos to live a traditional life mixed with Euro American influences. See less
