J.D. Challenger "New Rules" Giclee on Paper. JD Challenger is a painter and sculptor of Native Americans. He was born in Oklahoma with a desire to paint that appeared at a young age. He learned color, shading, light and shadow from closely observing nature and drawing what he saw. Always fascinated by the culture and customs of the Native Americans, near to whom he lived and soon considered his closest friends, the young Challenger absorbed their stories and traditions. He sketched his observations of their lives. At the beginning of his career, he lived in Taos, New Mexico where he did landscape painting and learned much about Native Americans by observing first hand Indians of the Taos Pueblo. At first, he was reluctant to show his oil and acrylic paintings of them in public for fear of offending a people he greatly admired. Upon witnessing a Ghost Dance ceremony, Challenger discovered his mission and what he wanted to paint. He later said: "As I stood there watching the chanting and the dancing, I knew what I wanted to paint . . . nothing had ever been clearer." (jdchallenger.com) Artist: J. D.

I was able to meet with Mr. Challenger as well as the Native American who posed for the painting. J. D. Challenger is currently known to be one of the foremost painters of the West as well as one of the few artists that has been accepted by the Native Americans of the West for his authentic representation.

His love for the West was clearly present in his enthusiasm for his portrait paintings****.

J D CHALLENGER "BLACKBIRD" LTD. ED. SIGNED PRINT
Est: -
J D Challenger "Blackbird" Limited Edition Print. This piece includes a certificate of authenticity. JD Challenger is a painter and sculptor of Native Americans. He was born in Oklahoma with a desire to paint that appeared at a young age. He learned color, shading, light and shadow from closely observing nature and drawing what he saw. Always fascinated by the culture and customs of the Native Americans, near to whom he lived and soon considered his closest friends, the young Challenger absorbed their stories and traditions. He sketched his observations of their lives. At the beginning of his career, he lived in Taos, New Mexico where he did landscape painting and learned much about Native Americans by observing first hand Indians of the Taos Pueblo. At first, he was reluctant to show his oil and acrylic paintings of them in public for fear of offending a people he greatly admired. Upon witnessing a Ghost Dance ceremony, Challenger discovered his mission and what he wanted to paint. He later said: "As I stood there watching the chanting and the dancing, I knew what I wanted to paint . . . nothing had ever been clearer." Artist: J D Challenger Title: "Blackbird" Medium: Ltd. Ed. Signed Print Circa/Year: 1999 Signature Type: Hand Signed Signature Location: Lower Left Edition: 599/800 Site Measurement: 23in x 23in Keywords: Native American, Indian Artwork, Art; Ref: DD4059

J.D. Challenger "Black Wolf" Acrylic on Canvas
Est: $2,200 - $8,000
40L x 40H x 2.5W This is signed in two places, first spot is bottom left in gold and on the back in black. Copyright 2001 on bottom left and on the back. JD Challenger is a painter and sculptor of Native Americans. He was born in Oklahoma with a desire to paint that appeared at a young age. He learned color, shading, light and shadow from closely observing nature and drawing what he saw. Always fascinated by the culture and customs of the Native Americans, near to whom he lived and soon considered his closest friends, the young Challenger absorbed their stories and traditions. He sketched his observations of their lives. At the beginning of his career, he lived in Taos, New Mexico where he did landscape painting and learned much about Native Americans by observing first hand Indians of the Taos Pueblo. At first, he was reluctant to show his oil and acrylic paintings of them in public for fear of offending a people he greatly admired. Upon witnessing a Ghost Dance ceremony, Challenger discovered his mission and what he wanted to paint. He later said: "As I stood there watching the chanting and the dancing, I knew what I wanted to paint . . . nothing had ever been clearer." (jdchallenger.com) With encouragement from friends, he showed his work to some Native Americans, one who was a holy man. Challenger was told, "Your path is to tell our story and educate others." JD Challenger depicts the story of a people rich in heritage and tradition. These stories are sometimes poignant, often angry, but always powerful and demanding to be told. Whether it be in the stoic, distant gaze of a young warrior in Whirlwind Horse or the regal stare of Wildcat, The Renegade Act II, the subjects of JD Challengers portraits are intended to look straight into the soul.
