About Gerry Lang

Gerry Lang, is a Chicago based Native American artist, enrolled in the Chowanoke Nation, and of Meherrin, and mixed European and African decent. He is a Visual Storyteller, Ritual Elder and educator. Gerry’s studio work is devoted to “Quantum Memory” images, and terra cotta and porcelain “Dream” and “Prayer Bowls.” It’s all centered around identity and re-remembering his Native heritage, and examining what that means in contemporary society. These works evoke his inner and outer reality, his connection to several distinct communities, landscape, deep space and the infinite terrain of Dream Time. His murals in acrylic, bricolage, and ceramic and broken tile, can be seen around Chicago. Gerry also creates personal adornments in silver and gold.
