Artist statement 

The Artistic language I speak with is a creative expression of the natural world’s strength and the origin of our birth from these life-giving forces of nature being the spirit of life. There is an overlying message in the thread of life tying us to our past to weave my creative language together anecdotally. This woven thread of life tying us to our past acknowledges the power of identity in the spirit of living culture. 

I am inspired that these artistic messages come from deep within a confident culturally grounded spirit creatively expressed as beyond the mundane in line and form to reveal a perspective of a Real dimension in human intellect as we are (Ongwhehoweh, “the Real People”).

Testimonial

The term “renaissance man” describes a person with many talents in a wide range of disciplines.

It’s an accurate term to describe Linley B. Logan’s multidisciplinary contemporary artists' work that covers a broad spectrum of art including printmaking, painting, carving, sculpture, design, curation, and more.

Testimonial
Logan’s cultural portraits reveal his approach to spiritual expression through abstraction. To Logan, the artist's role is to nurture the knowledge and strength of Native philosophies through the expressive practice of imaging and creatively abstracting his communities “traditional cultural values,” as embodied in the metonym of Ongwehonwe”ka’ (Our Indigenous way of Life).
