Robert Houle's painting combines Western abstraction, postmodernism, and conceptualism with First Nations art history and techniques, challenging expectations about Indigenous aesthetics. Published with the Art Gallery of Ontario, "Robert Houle: Red Is Beautiful" celebrates Houle's ongoing career as an internationally recognized Indigenous artist, curator, and writer, drawing attention to First Nations and settler-colonialist histories through his impressive oeuvre. Houle's visual commentary tackles global topics such as commercial appropriation, Indigenous resistance movements, land rights, religion, and war, among others. A leader in challenging systemic racial biases, Houle has played a significant role in successfully introducing Indigenous art and its relationship to the contemporary art world in Canada and beyond. Rare excerpts from the artist's archive are featured alongside major scholarly texts, poetic writings, and personal anecdotes from fellow prominent Indigenous thinkers and creators, offering new insights about an artist ahead of his time. Robert Houle (born 1947) teaches at the OCADU and has collaborated on projects that seek to establish awareness of First Nations contemporary art, such as the Land, Spirit, Power exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada in 1992. He is represented by Kinsman Robinson Galleries in Toronto.
