Kevin Red Star was born and lives in Lodge Grass, Montana and is a member of the Crow tribe. This film traces Kevin Red Star's journey as an artist from: Montana, Santa Fe's American Indian Art Institute, San Francisco Art Institute, 1969's Woodstock, and back home to Montana. He works primarily in acrylic, ink and collage, and is known for conjuring evocative images of his ancestral Crow tribe, culture and history.
Kevin Red Star's paintings are a synthesis of traditional imagery and contemporary style.
Known as “Running Rabbit” in his native Crow language, Kevin Red Star is a tall, soft-spoken man who has devoted his life to sharing his culture with the world. Born in the small town of Lodge Grass on eastern Montana’s Crow Reservation, the 65-year-old artist grew up surrounded by vast natural beauty: soaring mountain peaks, sweeping plateaus, deep canyons, sparkling streams, hundreds of alpine lakes to the west, and the mighty Bighorn River to the east. The third of nine children, Red Star has evolved from a self-taught youngster who constantly sketched scenes of his homeland to a pivotal North American master painter and printmaker renowned for his bold palette, emotionally evocative subjects, and compelling design elements.
