Between Dimensions:
Sheldon Harvey

By Rebekah Powers | May 2024

Chimayo Trading expects the unexpected from Sheldon Harvey, but this time he caught us by surprise! His latest piece: “Into the Yellow Dimension“ walks a bold line between painting and sculpture. It is hard to describe in words and a photo doesn’t do it justice, so you may have to come in the gallery for the full experience.

Known for his Yei sculptures of first Navajo peoples, Harvey evokes an energy that runs through everything he touches. As a painter, Harvey plays with lost and found shapes, color shifts and composition. Revealing the breadth and strength of his talent, this cohesion of his vision that has won him awards and great respect worldwide. With his newest piece, Sheldon Harvey takes us into a liminal space between painting and sculpture that he calls, “The Yellow Dimension”.

A hard worker, Sheldon Harvey has explored several different artistic avenues, always with his recognizable abstract expressionist style. The day he delivered “The Yellow Dimension” I saw him working on it on the tailgate of his truck, putting in the finishing touches, a highlight there, a bright spot of red here. We are fortunate to have this long symbiotic relationship with one of today’s rock stars in Native American Art.

Stop in soon to walk that line between dimensions that becomes a bridge between cultures at Chimayo Trading where the irises are blooming along the portico.
