Paul Moore and David Phelps

July 18, 2020 - Joy Reed Belt

This month JRB Art at The Elms is featuring the bronze sculptures of Paul Moore and David Phelps, both of whom currently live and work in Oklahoma. Paul's work is influenced by the history of the Great American West and his Native American Heritage. David's work is strongly tied to his memories, experiences, and feelings from having grown up on a family farm in Robert's Island, California. The following works selected by the Gallery are strong examples of each artist's skill and aesthetic.

One feels a little surrounded — in a good way — by the sculptures of Paul Moore in a show at JRB Art at The Elms, 2810 N Walker Ave.

Available by appointment, the bronzes by the noted Oklahoma artist and Muscogee (Creek) Nation member are on exhibit through July.

The Sun Dance is a religious ceremony that is practiced by many of the Native American peoples. In the "Offering to the Sun", I am showing part of the Blackfoot ceremony. It consists of four to five days of dancing, praying, fasting, and offerings. The dancers are pierced in the chest and fastened to pegs and rawhide thongs which are attached to a center pole and in some cases pierced in the back and attached to buffalo skulls.
