Stan Natchez was born in Los Angeles, California in 1954, the child of Shoshoni/Paiute parents. Despite being raised in a modern city his grandmother made sure to expose him to his Native American heritage, instructing him in traditional beadwork. His father, who authored a book on the connections between Jungian and Native American symbolism, encouraged him to become a teacher, and he earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Southern Colorado and his MFA from Arizona State University. He taught Humanities for ten years at Ormes Prep School in Arizona, eventually hired to become the editor of Native Peoples Magazine. He began participating in traditional Native American dances, inspired by the lessons of his grandmother to craft his own outfits, and eventually was touring throughout Europe performing before heads of state. Through dancing he became immersed in the world of Native Art, and became particularly influenced by the connections he saw between their traditional beliefs and the fragmented, dream-like self-awareness of Pop Art. Gravitating towards artists like Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns, he began painting in oils and watercolors, eventually developing his signature look after coming across reams of uncut misprint dollar bills and using them as the base layer for his canvas. Considering them “the new buffalo hide,” he soon began to incorporate other elements like pages from bibles, telephone books, and stock certificates, overlaying them with a variety of mixed media in a dizzying array of themes that has made him one of the definitive Neo-Pop artists amongst Native Americans. Although much of his work is imbued with symbolism of the centuries-old conflict between European invaders and indigenous peoples, it is also always brightly colored and rife with humorous elements, an attempt to express a contemporary native philosophy purged of romantic, stereotypical idealism which he instilled in his teaching as well. Natchez has exhibited nationally at The Southwest Museum, The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, and The National Museum of the American Indian, as well as around the globe in institutions in Denmark, England, and Germany, with his pieces in many private and public collections including The Museum of the American Indian and the Smithsonian.
