Studio 310

Cambronne’s work explores a dialogue among diverse practices, including Native American, Persian and De Stijl, referencing both decorative and fine art traditions. Cambronne was born in South Dakota and spent his earliest years on a reservation, where his father was a surveyor for the Department of the Interior. Later Cambronne received an M.F.A. in painting from Yale in 1985, where he also studied semiotics with Sebastian Shaumyan. The cross-pollination between a Native American aesthetic and belief and a high modernism is a key to understanding Cambronne’s enterprise.
