Jeremy Winborg’s paintings of Native Americans in traditional garb set against abstract backgrounds place him in line with Southwestern masters like Nicolai Fechin and Leon Gaspard. Sun Bleached Bones is a fantastic example of his work. The story—which you, the viewer, must construct yourself—includes the skull, the girl, and the cavalry sword, among other things. But even without knowing what the story is, you know the themes: youth and beauty, war and death.When you concentrate on the figure, the clouds come into focus at the edge of your vision. Focus on the clouds and the figure comes into sharp relief. Winborg’s joy reflects his passion for technique and what it can achieve. He himself has said, “I love the viewer to be able to take a little 2 or 3 inch section of my painting, whether it be a face or part of the background and find that the brushstrokes and pallet knife work are interesting and worth your attention.”
-James D. Balestrieri
