Bob Haozous, Chiricahua Apache Sculptor

Bob Haozous (1943- ), a compelling Chiricahua Apache sculptor, has established himself as a significant voice offering incisive commentary on the contemporary American experience. While his artistic practice encompasses drawing, painting, printmaking, and jewelry, his primary passion lies in sculpture, particularly his powerful and often monumental public installations. A striking example is the massive installation of four disks adorning the north tower of CenturyLink Field in Seattle, representing the multifaceted human experience and its complex relationship with the environment. Haozous' impactful works can be found enriching public spaces across the United States.

His artistic lineage is as profound as his creations. Bob Haozous is the son of the renowned Apache artist Allan Houser, inheriting a rich artistic heritage. His grandfather's connection to history is equally compelling, having served as an interpreter and runner for the legendary Geronimo and enduring imprisonment alongside him at Fort Sill.
