The Storm
2020
"The Storm" (2020) by Kent Monkman is a large-scale acrylic on canvas painting that depicts a dramatic and turbulent scene blending Indigenous and European visual traditions.

Through bold, sweeping compositions and rich color, Monkman confronts themes of colonialism, resilience, and the ongoing struggles faced by Indigenous peoples.
