Conception, Abstraction, Reduction: Artwork of Dan, Arlo and Michael Namingha

The Santa Fe Botanical Garden is pleased to present our newest art exhibit, Conception, Abstraction, Reduction, the works of famed sculptor Dan Namingha, and his two sons, Arlo Namingha, also a well-known sculptor, and Michael Namingha, who works with printed images and words providing social commentary.

The exhibit includes powerful sculptures that reflect the Hopi/ Tewa culture of the Namingha family.  While the sculptural styles of Dan and Arlo Namingha differ, the minimalist aesthetic of these two artists, combined with symbols of their culture, creates the singular and unique body of work included in this remarkable exhibit.
