The exhibit is virtual for now and to see his work go to artsteps.com/ view/5f165ed5c976c150992d46e9. “As an artist, I paint what gives meaning to me as an individual,” DesJarlait said. “I look at my art from a tribal perspective. Through my art,
I visualize a particular facet of Ojibwe experience. My paintings are personal visions of a tribal past. The imagery composes a micro/macroscopic Ojibwe universe. Interwoven in this universe are creation stories, history, customs and traditions, and my central theme – Ojibwe Manidoowiwin, the tribal spirit of the Ojibwe people.” Robert DesJarlait (Endaso-Giizhik) is from Miskwaagamiiwizaaga’igan (Red Lake). He belongs to Makwa Doodem (Bear Clan). He is an artist, writer, and traditional dancer. He began his career as a fine artist in 1983. He is also an illustrator and muralist. He currently lives in Onamia, Minn., with his wife and daughter.
