Comanche Motion: The Art of Eric Tippeconnic

October 1, 2018 - October 31, 2018

Bullock Texas State History Museum
1800 Congress Avenue
Austin, TX 78701 United States


Comanche Motion: The Art of Eric Tippeconnic tells the story of a thriving Comanche culture rooted in the past but evolving toward the future. Co-curated by Comanche artist and historian Eric Tippeconnic, the exhibition blends the past with the present to honor the Comanche people. Filled with symbolism and meaning, Tippeconnic’s paintings highlight the strength, beauty, and grace of the Comanche past and present. The paintings are rich with history and the unbroken connection the Comanche people have with their roots, but they are not romanticized or stagnant expressions of a bygone era. Rather, Tippeconnic’s art is full of movement, color, and life — a bold statement that Comanche culture is vibrantly alive in the modern world. The exhibition features 34 artworks by Tippeconnic paired with historical Comanche artifacts, a juxtaposition that shows the inspiration for the artworks, as well as the historical evidence that underscores the rich heritage of the Comanche people. Immerse yourself in Tippeconnic’s daily life and artistic process with family photographs, a behind-the-scenes video, and a soundtrack of songs he listens to while painting.

Everyday 9:00AM-5:00PM
