Matthew Kirk (b. 1978, Ganado, Ariz.) is an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. A self-taught artist, Kirk’s abstract assemblages and paintings are steeped in symbolism and iconography that take inspiration from colors and patterns found in turn-of-the-century Navajo rugs. Kirk will be the Windgate Artist-in- Residence at KSU in Fall 2024.
