Astronaut Series
The Astronaut series features paintings that delve into the nature of contemporary human life. The paintings utilize abstract and figurative elements to illustrate the complex journey of humanity in search of purpose and connection. One of the recurring motifs in this series is an astronaut riding a horse, a symbol of our timeless quest for understanding and unity.
Ofuskie's use of abstraction underscores the numerous layers of the human psyche and the intangible essence of our shared experiences. The surrealist theme in the series is a nod to the physical and emotional depth of the human condition.
In essence, Ofuskie's Astronaut series encourages viewers to engage in introspection and invokes a deeper understanding of the intricacies of our shared existence.
Neo-Flatstyle
The Neo Flat Style series, inspired by the Flatstyle artists of San Ildefonso Pueblo, the Santa Fe Indian School (New Mexico) and Bacone College (Oklahoma), showcases the evolution of traditional art forms into contemporary styles. The contemporary exploration of these flat style elements has culminated in a unique interpretation of the traditional painting genre. This series pays tribute to numerous Native American Artists who pioneered this genre and continue to inspire the artist.
Identity Series
The Identity Series delves into self-awareness and the unknown aspects of our identities. It features abstract native portraits with obscured eyes, encouraging viewers to immerse themselves in the metaphor rather than focusing on the figure's identity. This approach provokes introspection and a deeper exploration of self.
Part of the Heard
The "Part of the Heard" series was conceived as a collection of 101 artworks, designed to foster an appreciation for Native American art among new collectors. The creation of these abstract bisons served as a meditative process. While the first series was fully acquired in 2023, the concept is continuing evolve in new works.
