Zona Maco Louis Stern Fine Arts Booth AM104 | Centro Banamex Mexico City February 4 – 8, 2026

Zona Maco  Louis Stern Fine Arts  Booth AM104 | Centro Banamex   Mexico City February 4 – 8, 2026 Louis Stern Fine Arts is delighted to announce the gallery’s return to Zona Maco with a presentation highlighting its 20th century program. On view are historically significant master works, created between 1932 – 2001, by a selection of estate artists represented by the gallery. Paintings, carved reliefs, and works on paper by Karl Benjamin (1925-2012), Ynez Johnston (1920-2019), Helen Lundeberg (1908-1999), Doug Ohlson (1936-2010), Anita Payró (1897-1980), Alfredo Ramos Martínez (1871-1946), and Frederick Wight (1902-1986) showcase the philosophical and aesthetic inquiries that served as the foundations of these artists’ practices. The presentation calls particular attention to their use of consonance and form, appealing to both the real and the abstract in pursuit of creating quiet, intimate spaces in the mind. Anita Payró’s geometric forms capture light from the sky in transparent layers, playing against the chiaroscuro of Helen Lundeberg’s serene allusions to nature and interior spaces. Karl Benjamin’s condensed landscape invites conversation of sub-surface depth, as Frederick Wight conjures a terrestrial eruption triggered by powerful, unseen forces. Doug Ohlson’s paintings consider the topsy-turvy folding of nature through timeless geometric forms. Ynez Johnston’s peculiar inscriptions narrate a recursive dreamworld of faraway ideals. Selected late works by Alfredo Ramos Martínez capture moments of quiet reflection and camaraderie in the midst of hardship, longing, and restless anticipation.

Chelsea Bighorn Expands Sculptural Language in New Grant-Supported Work Awarded the Emerging Native Arts Grant for an Architecture-Driven Practice

Chelsea Bighorn Expands Sculptural Language in New Grant-Supported Work

Awarded the Emerging Native Arts Grant for an Architecture-Driven Practice

-- The Walker Youngbird Foundation, a Native-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting emerging Indigenous artists, announces Chelsea Bighorn as a 2026 recipient of the Emerging Native Arts Grant. Her winning proposal centers on a new body of sculptural work that pushes her pleated canvas and bead practice into a more architectural form, drawing equally from Native garments and the cityscape she encounters on her daily train commute.

A cornerstone initiative of the Foundation, the Emerging Native Arts Grant supports early-career Native artists whose work advances contemporary Indigenous practice. Awarded twice annually, the program provides a $15,000 unrestricted grant, along with structured support focused on sustaining an independent art practice, concluding with a public presentation of new work.

Born and raised in Tempe, Arizona, and of Lakota, Dakota, and Shoshone-Paiute heritage, Chelsea Bighorn weaves fiber, form, and cultural memory into a sculptural language grounded in material rigor and lived experience. Drawing from both her Native American heritage and her Irish-American background, Bighorn reinterprets Indigenous design through a personal lens, translating ceremonial references into contemporary forms using textiles, canvas, and beadwork. Her practice emphasizes scale, pleating, and repetition as narrative tools—linking memory and place through the physical act of making.

"This grant gives me the opportunity to push myself further in the realm of pleating and explore what I can accomplish with the right support behind me," said Bighorn. "Creating has always been my happy place, but it hasn't always been feasible to fully realize my ideas. This moment allows me to bring those ideas together into something monumental, drawing from both Native garments and the architecture I encounter during my daily train rides through the city."

Bighorn received her MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2024 and is a graduate of the Institute of American Indian Arts. She lives and works in Chicago and has exhibited at institutions including the Museum of Contemporary Native Art, SITE Santa Fe, Catharine Clark Gallery, and the Center for Native Futures.

"Chelsea's work stood out for its formal clarity and ambition," said Reid Walker, founder of the Walker Youngbird Foundation. "She's using material and structure to think seriously about place—how it's remembered, inhabited, and rebuilt. This project marks a real expansion of her practice, and that's exactly the moment this grant is meant to support."

The grant will support Bighorn as she develops a new body of work expanding her material practice into a more architectural register. Continuing to work with canvas and beadwork, she will transform pleating into dimensional form, with beads functioning as a visual language that traces structure, movement, and process. Drawing inspiration from both traditional Native garments and the built environment of Chicago, the project brings cultural memory into dialogue with contemporary urban space.
