*APC ART is honored to present a powerful and historically resonant work by acclaimed Western painter **Mark Maggiori**, titled **“Chumash of Malibu,”** issued as an **archival pigment print on Moab Entrada fine art paper**, published by the industry-leading print house **Static Medium.***
Measuring **16 inches x 13 inches**, and **hand-signed “MM” and hand-numbered by the artist**, this edition of **1485** bears Maggiori’s official embossed blind stamp — a mark of authenticity and quality. The release was created in direct support of communities affected by the devastating Malibu fires, during which many artists joined in solidarity to provide aid. As one of the most prominent voices in contemporary Western Art, **Maggiori stepped forward and contributed this extraordinary print**, making it not only a striking work of art, but also a document of cultural support and philanthropy.
*“Chumash of Malibu”* depicts a dignified member of the Chumash Nation — the Indigenous people of coastal Southern California — rendered with Maggiori’s signature painterly confidence. Loose yet articulate brushwork, a sculptural sense of light, atmospheric backgrounds, and a reverent focus on figure and spirit converge in this breathtaking portrait. The warm palette, wind-swept textures, and dynamic clothing details echo the energy that has made Maggiori’s Western compositions instantly recognizable. His ability to balance historical respect with cinematic drama has positioned him as one of the most important representational painters of his generation.
Born in France and raised as an illustrator, **Mark Maggiori has radically transformed the landscape of Western and representational art**, elevating the genre far beyond romantic nostalgia. His meticulous compositions and deeply researched subjects have drawn avid support from collectors worldwide, including celebrities, museum patrons, and top-tier private collections across the United States. His sold-out shows, large-scale canvases, and lightning-fast market demand have redefined contemporary Western painting, inspiring a new generation to value realism through a fresh, modern lens.
This print release sold out quickly, and **most examples are now held in private collections**, which has made acquisition increasingly difficult and has strengthened the work’s investment potential. “Chumash of Malibu” carries significance not only as a representation of Indigenous history, but also as a philanthropic artifact tied to a major event in California’s cultural memory. It is a compelling and timeless addition to any fine art collection.
We are pleased to offer **archival framing options**, including museum-grade UV protective glazing and custom Western-inspired or contemporary minimalist styles upon request.
The work is **in hand and will ship immediately from the USA.**
