Biggest Art Heist from Pari Chumroo Galleries
Originally established highlighting her productions of cultural treasures her collection contains over a thousand pieces. Pari Chumroo focuses painting and drawing a significant gallery of artwork. Her pieces range from one country to the next as well as expressing one culture to the next.
She is currently working on her gallery series titled, "Idle No More". This when finished will contain over 100 original charcoal sketches she is creating from historical photos. The photos are of the Native Americans from the people of all the nations as far back as the early 1800 and 1900's.
Her next series will be all oil painting of large size and quantity. Depicting history as well and revealing a collections no man would even think one would take time to create. Sacred and dear to her heart this subject of creation has long been placed on her heart and spirit to be created. Pari feels no time is better to begin this creation than the year 2015.
As each series she producing get longer and more intense she is finding that the art heists are growing. It has been brought to the company Pari Chumroo Fine Arts that without consent reproductions and reprints are being produced on a daily basis. Pari Chumroo herself when asked how she feels about this states the following," Like France notated to me many years ago...Let them steal them. All the more power to those who take. If it makes them feel as if they are a valued person by hanging a stolen piece of art from me. France made it clear to me Mona Lisa became famous by being stolen. To those whom are art collectors and have the privileged of honestly purchasing an original know that that piece you have is in fact protected and proved to be an original with my DNA implanted in each piece." Pari also states, "To God be the glory." In the end you can't take it with you when you go.
Reproduced in "300 painting and 2,000 advertisements during the 20th century the Mona Lisa was stolen. This very piece was an object for mass reproduction, merchandising, parody, and deliberation. Mona Lisa was among many and not the "most famous painting" in the world as it is termed today, until the 20th century.
The avant-garde art world has made note of the undeniable fact of popularity of the Mona Lisa. In 1954, Salvador Dali, painted Self Portrait as Mona Lisa. Salvador was also known for his surrealist work. Andy Warhol, who was famously for his The Scream painting , also created serigraph prints of multiple Mona Lisa's titled Thirty are Better than One. A French urban artist known as Invader created renditions on city wall in Paris and Tokyo using his trademark mosaic style. The Mona Lisa to this day continues to inspire artist around the world.
In the end, if Pari Chumroo inspires people or others artist, she has reached her goal as an artist of making a lasting impression. Feel inspired yet? If not, wait until God speaks through her next series and Christ reveals an abundance.

Why Preserving Native American History Matters
My spine-chillers center around one theme: native vitals have been put on the back burner in the past and must be rediscovered today. That "something" varies from image to image. A great culture with an abundance of history that well deserves respect and pride.
Preservation for native people is about values and traditions. Images can speak volumes through native people from centuries back to this date. When I draw or paint from a native historical photo I feel as if I am not only preserving history, but I am being the voice for those that were once silenced. "Idle no More" is the name of my Historical Native American Series.
History plays a vital role in our everyday lives. Learning through images seems to be the trend this day and age. "If we can preserve one day of the past into one day in the future with just one image then we have gained a lifetime" Pari Chumroo.
The first of my series began with "Weensizeneet. An Arapaho boy. ca. 1890" copyright Pari Chumroo .
The second is "Sleeping Native Papoose" copyright Pari Chumroo.
A papoose is an American English loanword whose present meaning is "a Native American child" or, even more generally, any child, usually used as a term of endearment, often in the context of the child's mother.
Moving forward the gallery is quickly growing with Pari's great determination.

This series if bringing emotional spiritual native feeling to me as an artist. History leads with confidence, boldness, and bravery when it uses native hands to speak.
Five pieces in on my 100 piece series and I am motivated to complete the other 95 by September 31, 2015.

What is and Who is Indigenous?
Normally indigenous people preserve a degree of cultural and political separation from the mainstream culture and political system of the nation state within the border of which the indigenous group is located.
They are people who were already there.
They are people who were already there.
- because they originated there (only in Africa of course)
- or because they are from a previous wave of migration (Neanderthals in Europe, Aborigines in Australia, Native Americans etc.)

Symbolic Raven of the Natives
The Raven is considered a trickster because of its transforming/changing qualities, to some tribes.
Native American Symbols, like the Raven symbol, can vary in meaning from one tribe to another and across the culture groups of North America.
The meaning of the Raven symbol signifies that danger has passed and that good luck would follow. According to Native American legends and myths of some tribes the Raven played a part in their Creation myth. The raven escaped from the darkness of the cosmos and became the bringer of light to the world. The raven is associated with the creation myth because it brought light where there was only darkness. The raven is also believed to be a messenger of the spirit world. It is believed that ravens who fly high toward the heavens take prayers from the people to the spirit world and, in turn, bring back messages from the spiritual realm. Other tribes looked upon the raven as a trickster, or shape-shifter, because of its ability to adapt to different situations.

What is Cultural Art? Part 2
What is culture?
-the civilization of a given people or nation at a given time or over all time; its customs, its arts, and its conveniences
-socially inherited artifacts
-fineness of feelings, thoughts, tastes, or manners; refinement
-the development of the mind or body by education or training Culture, then, is commonly held beliefs, activities, social norms, and expressions of creativity within a group of people.
It is a refinement or development of talents and interests through exposure and training. It is the music, drama, holidays, entertainment, dances, art, sports, behaviors and values that define a society.
We call music, art, drama, and dance cultural arts because they are tools that help us develop the mind and body, refine feelings, thoughts, and tastes, and reflect and represent our customs and values as a society.
Moreover, David Bridburg utilizes famous western cultural icons in an exclusive form of art to define the western culture in a unique way to the viewer.

Live to Paint What You Feel
Choices are what artistic expression is all about. One can choose to paint as they see it, while another paints as they feel it. I can teach you to paint, but the real question is: Can I truly teach you how to paint? I don't believe I can. Here is why.
As a child, I grew up getting scolded for doodling in school. Growing older, I kept the habit. In my earlier twenties this habit subsided and a new deadly one set in. I began drawing a calamitous future for myself each time I smoked a cigarette. It was 8 years ago the year 2006, that I remember going into the doctors for a physical. On that day I left feeling lost. The doctor looked at the family history of my mother and grandfather having cancer. She told me if I did not quit smoking cigarettes in 5 years I would be dead of cancer. Devastated, I told her to do whatever it took to aid me in quitting. So she did. She prescribed me chantix.
It was just a few days after that I went to visit my grandmother who was also an artist. Her tiny hands clenched the paint brush as I visited her. A petite table top easel held her primed canvas. A wooded forest with a river running through it in front of a log cabin. Blue skies and deep green trees. A bear running to the flowing waters to fish for his supper while an eagle took flight above the skies. "Grandma will you teach me how to paint"?, I asked her. "No, I will not because you already know how. Put the cigarette down, put the brush in your hand, and paint what you feel." I listened to her while thoughts rushed through my head. Will I live to see this cabin by the river in 5 years? Or will I live to paint what I feel?
I was fortunate enough to listen and take her advice. It was not the chantix that made me quit, it was my grandmother's words. I went home and produced a landscape piece where the eagles fly and I would go fishing in Manistee. It is boathouse called "Loomis Landing" where my friends and I would take a rest. In 2007 my grandmother fell ill with cancer. In 2009 she passed. I placed "Loomis Landing" under her tiny hands before they closed her casket and she safely guards that piece to this day.
Relishing painting from my feelings, I continue to create each day. With a full range of styles and mediums I am not only able to express a world of cultures but also paint what I sense. I enjoy painting not photographing. Rather than a photograph I prefer a painting. It captures the heart and soul of each subject. My recommendation for those out there whom to learn to paint is the same advice that little Chippewa Indian grandmother of mine gave me: "Paint What You Feel".
