Stone Sculpture by Alvin Marshall
Gray alabaster depicting Navajo warrior with wolf headdress and shield. Signed 'Alvin K Marshall' on back. Measures 14 3/4"x7"x5 1/4". Alvin Marshall is one of the most accomplished sculptors working today and he is gaining increasing attention on the Native American art scene. Over the last two decades, Alvin has received much acclaim in the art world, including the Rising Stars 2001 exhibit at the Desert Caballeros Museum in Wickenburg, AZ. In the early 80"s, he was named Sculptor of the Year at the Native American Art Show sponsored by the famous Heard Museum in Phoenix. Marshall's images that emerge from alabaster stone tell stories of his Navajo culture. Marshall believes there is a need for spiritual connection among different peoples. His special gift is the ability to produce art that embodies an authentic spirituality that can unite. He worries that "we've lost the togetherness as a people" and hopes that through his art he can share the closeness and harmony that was at the heart of Navajo life.
