Navajo Street Art
January 12, 2011
A few weeks ago I went on an epic road trip down to Mexico and I had the good fortune of stumbling onto these awesome wheatpastes while driving through the Navajo reservations in northern Arizona. I found out they are by a Navajo artist who goes by the name Jetsonorama, and I saw them pasted all over the abandoned buildings, water towers, shanties, signs, etc. out in the desert. It was really interesting to see street art placed in a rural context like this, and they created quite an impact by monumentalizing the people of the native american community.
You can see more of his work at – http://speakingloudandsayingnothing.blogspot.com – which is very reminiscent of the prolific artwork of French wheatpaste artist JR – http://www.jr-art.net

The artist is not a Navajo–he’s a Tuba City-based doctor who works on the reservation…
From what I researched about him online I assumed he was Navajo, my apologies.

Loving this stuff. It’s interesting to see wheat pastes in that open of an environment.
Agreed Jason. It totally changes the feel of the wheat pasting. The size helps a lot with how dramatic it is.
