About Kevin Red Star

Kevin Red Star is a Native American painter and enrolled member of the Apsáalooke (Crow) Nation, born in 1943 on the Crow Indian Reservation in Lodge Grass, Montana. He studied at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a formative institution in the development of contemporary Native American fine art. Red Star's work draws deeply on Crow cultural traditions, depicting Plains Indian life, ceremonial gatherings, horses, and the material culture of the Apsáalooke people. His paintings employ oil and mixed-media techniques with bold color and a compositional style that bridges representational imagery and expressive abstraction. Exhibited widely across the United States, Red Star is recognized as one of the most prominent living Native American painters, and his work is held in numerous public, museum, and private collections.
