Gallery 17 Peck Welcomes    San Carlos Apache / Akimel O’odham    Doug Miles    Artist Reception  |  Nov 13, 2008  |  5-9 pm     Douglas Miles - San Carlos Apache/Akimel O’odham graphic artist  Douglas Miles, connects the universality of mainstream’s skateboard culture to today’s Indian youth. His Graphic imagery of Apache warriors and contemporary “Rez” portraits brings a Native aesthetic and sensibility to the skateboard culture. The Apache skateboards break through a seemingly closed mainstream boundary, reasserting and affirming Indian youth’s presence in the mainstream culture of today.  Douglas has recently shown his work at Princeton University and The Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. ____________________________________________________________________ Gallery 17 Peck 303 Atwells Avenue Providence, Rhode Island 02903 401-331-2561
