As a young man he received a track scholarship to the University of<br>Texas and decided to choose art as his major. Unfortunately, his art professor<br>disapproved of his style of painting and a disappointed Furlow left college to<br>become a rock and roll musician. For 18 years he played the sax, bass and<br>sometimes the guitar, playing back up for such notable groups and soloists as<br>the Beach Boys and Lou Rawls.<br><br>Leaving his music career behind, Furlow used his artistic talent to construct<br>models for movie sets at Walt Disney Studios. He also delved into photography,<br>writing a book for Kodak, called Close-Up Photography, that explained the best<br>way to photograph miniatures, especially models. But, in 1987 after hearing<br>scholar Joseph Campbell's words "Follow Your Bliss," Furlow decided to go back<br>to his first love, painting.<br><br>Furlow began drawing American Indians at the age of six, when his father had<br>Malcolm accompany him on business trips throughout New Mexico. Beginning with<br>watercolors, Furlow realized the medium was ill suited for large canvases and<br>switched to brightly colored acrylic images of Native Americans. In all his<br>works, Furlow strives to show his deep admiration and respect for his Choctaw<br>heritage.<br><br>About his subject matter and painting style, Furlow has said, "I knew I wanted<br>to say it with color because that's the emotion of it. I've got to make the<br>viewer feel what I feel . All I'm trying to do is paint them as they are - paint<br>their culture, their dignity and their stature . I didn't want to do portraits<br>of Indians, I wanted to say something about the human condition." He paints two<br>worlds: the Native American and their place in the Anglo World. In addition,<br>Furlow rides and decorates motorcycles.<br><br>A recently filmed documentary entitled the "Life and Art of Malcolm Furlow,<br>"refers to him as a "Renaissance Man": the quintessential cowboy, musician, and<br>intellectual artist.
