Eddy Cobiness (July 17, 1933 – January 1, 1996) was an Ojibwe-Canadian artist renowned for his depiction of outdoor scenes and nature, reflecting his deep connection to the land. Born on the Buffalo Point First Nation reserve in southeast Manitoba, Cobiness was a prominent member of the "Indian Group of Seven," a collective that championed Indigenous art in Canada. He began his artistic journey by drawing birds as a child, later discovering watercolour painting during his military service in the 1950s. Cobiness initially worked in realistic styles but evolved into abstraction, influenced by his contemporaries, including Benjamin Chee Chee. His work gained international acclaim, with pieces in collections such as that of Queen Elizabeth II. Cobiness's innovative use of color and composition earned him recognition, and his art continues to influence Indigenous artists today. He passed away in Winnipeg in 1996.
