Jeffrey Gibson (1972) is the first artist from an indigenous tribe to represent the USA at the last Venice Biennale. His legacy comes from the conjunction of the Choctaw group, the Cherokee and Western culture (especially North American). The artist's presence in this transcendental exhibition confirms indigenous autonomy, not only in the United States, but throughout the continent.

The work features an intricate technique, uniting weaving, embroidery and painting. There is no free space in The Obligation of Honor of a Powerful Nation, everything was intervened in this extremely colorful “horror vacui”, where tribal aesthetics, textiles and found objects coexist with the contemporary.

Impeccably crafted, the artist's hybrid vision is moving: geometry and realism coexist on the same canvas, the same goes for the mixture of cultures (Westernism and indigenism). His polyglot sensitivity synthesizes our world in a universal chromography.
