Born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, Ishi Glinsky (b. 1982) grounds his multidisciplinary practice in an exploration of the traditions of his tribe, the Tohono O’odham Nation, as well as other North American First Nations. Working in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, and sculpture, Glinsky honors Indigenous histories by creating contemporary tributes to sacred practices, subsequently integrating the past with the present. Glinsky lives and works in Los Angeles, California. He has presented solo exhibitions at Chris Sharp Gallery, Los Angeles; Visions West, Denver; These Days, Los Angeles; and other venues. In 2022, Glinsky presented his first institutional survey, Upon A Jagged Maze, curated by Gabriel Ritter, at The Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara. His first exhibition with P·P·O·W, Duration of Being Known, is on view through December 7.
