DAVID CHETLAHE PALADIN "FIRST WOMAN" ACRYLIC ON CANVAS
Est: -
David Chetlahe Paladin (1926 - 1984) "First Woman" Acrylic on Canvas. David was the son of a Navajo Indian mother and a white missionary father, spending his early years on the Navajo reservation near Chinle, Arizona. An incorrigible runaway, a stowaway, a secret agent, a WW II prison camp survivor, Paladin's life story sounds more like fiction than fact. Later associations with indigenous peoples led to his education as a shaman by the Huichols and Tarahumaras of Mexico, the Northwest Coastal Indians and the Pueblo Indians, and by the Australian Aboriginals. While he lived in New Mexico he was a radio announcer for a classical music station, midwife, volunteer police chaplain, and prison chaplain at Los Lunas Medium Security Correctional Facility where he began the first Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in a prison setting. Paladin's art is rooted in but not bounded by the lore of his Indian ancestry. His themes are timelessness and universality. While some of his motifs are recognizably Indian, Paladin's singular ability to amalgamate recurrent images enables him to straddle cultures and embrace design concepts that have a universal rather than merely cultural appeal. At the core of his remarkably diverse art is the theme of harmony and peace as it touches upon the spiritual and dream qualities of the roots of humankind.
