Big Chief Blue: Mardi Gras Inspired Mask

Rooted in the vibrant tradition of Mardi Gras masking and the spiritual resonance of African diasporic art, Big Chief Blue  is a one-of-a-kind freestanding sculpture that commands attention in any space.

Crafted from hand-shaped metal and layered in deep cobalt blues, rich golds, and earthy purples, this piece evokes the ceremonial majesty of Black masking traditions in New Orleans. The feathered crown fans outward with movement and texture, while the face—painted in expressive brushstrokes—exudes presence, memory, and power.

This sculpture is designed to stand on its own pedestal base—ideal for grounding a room, anchoring a mantle or console, or serving as a bold entryway statement. It’s not just decor—it’s legacy, resilience, and rhythm made tangible.
