Wednesday, September 18th: Stan Padilla
Lecture 1 – LAPIS: An Artist’s Journey in Stone, Spirit, Color and Painting
Lecture Description:
Stan Padilla will discuss his artwork, printmaking, the color blue and his international travel adventures and studies. He will give a mini demonstration of the making of ultramarine paint.
| Stan Padilla is a multi-media artist, Indigenous educator, and cultural activist. He is descended from the California Yaqui and Chicano tribes. He influences the greater culture by bringing ancient stories, myths and legends to life and honoring his ancestors. As a principle member of the artists’ collective, The Royal Chicano Airforce (RCAF), Padilla has been active in social justice and the civil rights movement and continues to further these causes.
Working on both canvas and wall, Padilla creates both artwork for interior display and large-scale murals, visible on the sides of buildings. He has participated in Wide Open Walls, Sacramento’s annual mural festival. His murals can be seen at Southside Park, the Macy’s downtown parking lot, and the California State Health Services Offices. His collaborative mural, “Flight”, honoring the RCAF, can be seen in the Golden 1 Center (Sacramento). His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally since 1969. He was awarded a California Arts Council Master Legacy Artist Fellowship for 2024. Padilla’s influence also extends into the publishing industry, with his work as a writer and publisher of Native American stories for children, and his writing on spirituality and folklore. He is an Artistic and Cultural Mentor for the United Auburn Indian Community Tribal School. His work in education also includes his work as an art instructor at Sierra College. Padilla lives and works in the Colfax/Weimar area where he is developing an artists’ sanctuary and spiritual cultural center. He has recently returned from adventure travels in Egypt and Italy. |
