Known for his painted drums and stylized sculptures, Taos Pueblo Native American Sean Rising Sun Flanagan draws inspiration from the traditional images of his roots. He crafts drums from deer, elk and buffalo hides and paints them with a sense of design that unites deep tradition with the contemporary.
Flanagan’s stylized sculptures are integrated with form and color, resulting in a strong and vibrant balance of geometric and organic shapes within a recognizable subject. Ranging in height from a couple feet up to 12 feet tall and powdercoated with UV and water resistant paint, Flanagan’s sculptures are designed to withstand the elements, whether standing as a focal point in a courtyard, attached to a wall, or in a rugged landscape.
