Coyote Satan Amerika: The Unspeakable Art & Performances of Reverend Steven Johnson Leyba

Half Native American, Leyba is a 'Sexpressionist'. His works have been collected by, the Vincent Price Archive, William S. Burroughs Archive, Stephen King, Clive Barker, David Cronenberg, H.R. Giger, Cornell University, A.I.M. (American Indian Movement), and the Black Panther Party among others. Internationally known for being controversial, Leyba is extreme, and makes no apologies for it. His mixed media canvases, containing everything from oil paint, and traditional tribal beadwork, to his own blood and body fluids, are as different an art to behold, as they are thick in texture, color, and the statements of who he is. Very graphic in their depiction of body parts, as in his portrait series, 'SexGoblins', and often politically charged, this 'Tribal Trickster' may be an acquired taste, but one who'll you will never see imitated.
