William Acheff
William Acheff "Blackfoot Mocs" 6 x 8 oil
In 1973, William Acheff moved to Taos, New Mexico to separate himself from the influences during his apprenticeship with Italian artist Roberto Lupetti. It was in Taos that Acheff found his niche. Acheff, who is of Alaskan Athabascan heritage, has a special affinity for the historical and cultural artifacts that he chooses to paint. The appealing forms and designs of the Indian pots and artifacts are intertwined with Acheff's preference for painting textures from nature. The vintage photographs that often appear in Acheff's compositions help the artist set a mood. Each article in relation to the others becomes integral to the composition as a whole. The results invite lasting contemplation.
