Overwhelmingly considered a living legend, Malcolm Furlow (American, born 1946) is a master painter who remains a significant figure in the fabric of the American Southwest. A recently filmed documentary entitled the "Life and Art of Malcolm Furlow," refers to him as a "Renaissance Man": the quintessential cowboy, musician, and intellectual artist. He is an award-winning painter, whose accolades include the Silver award from the Sorbonne, and the highly coveted Gold Award from the world-renown Luxembourg Museum, Paris.

Having shown in galleries all over the world and winning prestigious awards in Paris once held by Pablo Picasso, Malcolm is required study in art schools across the globe. His devoted collectors travel from Europe, Sweden and Japan to add to their collections.

Malcolm's father was half Choctaw. His grandfather was taken as a boy to a Christian school, had his braids cut off and was beaten for speaking his traditional language. As a young boy in Louisiana, Malcolm saw Indians being hung in his own neighborhood. Under the cover of night, the family moved to Dallas, Texas where they felt it was safer. Instructed by his father to never mention his heritage, Malcolm never met his Choctaw relatives. Malcolm's artwork comes from his DNA, not his experiences, often channeling powerful images of a life he never knew.
