Reemergence: Returning to the Circle
July 19 to September 6, 2019 Two Rivers Gallery 1530 E. Franklin Ave. Minneapolis, MN 55404 Robert DesJarlait will exhibit his new series “Reemergence” at Two Rivers Galley located at the Minneapolis American Indian Center. The solo exhibition features 17 new works in mixed watercolor mediums. The exhibit opens on July 19, 6-8 p.m. This is DesJarlait’s first solo exhibition since 1990. In subsequent years, he established a career as an illustrator for Native American organizations and school programs and as a muralist. “Reemergence” marks his return to fine art. In 2013, DesJarlait contracted colon cancer followed by surgery. In 2016, he went through surgery again for recurrence of cancer. “As a Stage IV cancer survivor, reengaging in my art provides a path for healing and has allowed me to return to my roots as a fine artist. The themes and stories of traditional lifestyles and activities that dominated my art in the 1980s are retold from a fresh perspective of a renewal of life. My Reemergence Series is a testament of resiliency in facing the Asabikeshiinh (Spider) within.” DesJarlait is from the Red Lake Ojibwe Nation and currently lives at Onamia, MN.
