Malcolm Furlow
is known for strong color combinations that make his expressionist paintings of Indian themes come alive with feeling. As a one-time set designer for Walt Disney he learned to work with bold primary colors, later adapting them to his paintings of Indians - his favored subject since he began drawing as a boy. When he was asked about the bright images he creates, which are fragmented by color, he says they are  “. . . a metaphor for the human condition. The further Native Americans are removed from their heritage and embraced by anglo culture, the greater the conflict that results. This is the dichotomy that fuels the fires for my paintings.” Driven by his own passion for painting, Furlow names Fritz Scholder as an important influence whose work inspired him to paint large, dramatic canvases.
Malcolm Furlow’s hallmarks are his electrifying colors, vibrant portraiture, and masterfully constructed scenes borne from both introspection and retrospect. Malcolm Furlow’s prolific body of work continues to earn critical acclaim around the world. Overwhelmingly considered a living legend, the master painter remains a significant figure in the fabric of the American Southwest. A recently filmed documentary entitled the “Life and Art of Malcolm Furlow, “refers to him as a “Renaissance Man”: the quintessential cowboy, musician, and intellectual artist. He is an award-winning painter, whose accolades include the Silver award from the Sorbonne, and the highly coveted Gold Award from the world-renown Luxembourg Museum, Paris.
