"JOY" Window Graphics

This year at the Gallery we've decided to put JOY into our window, to wish you and yours a joyful holiday season!

It's always fun to change our window display each holiday season and to feature a different Northwest Coast Artist or theme. This year we decided to feature the work of Robert Davidson by using one of his most iconic images: the moon from his gold pendant version of "Raven Bringing Light to the World". Its luminous face offers a peaceful focal point for our window and is our way of wishing everyone a "JOYful" holiday season! This pendant 's history has quite an interesting story and is featured below. The pendant itself is available in the gallery. 
Raven Bringing Light to the World

The first incarnation of this piece was created in the form of a boxwood pendant. Davidson Boxwood Pendant


This was cast as a yellow gold pendant, with both measuring approximately 7"x 6 3/4" x 1" and was released in 1984. 
Davidson Cast Gold Pendant



They are featured in the book: Robert Davidson: Eagle of the Dawn (Thom 1993: 106 & 111).

Robert Davidson Moon Pendant
The pendant we have in the gallery window display is based on this design and was what Robert created next. This pendant features the moon design without the raven Formline surrounding it, and was made into an edition of 12.
Davidson Alder Moon Mask


The iconic design was then carved into alder between 1983 and 1984. The final result is the 12" mask that is currently on our gallery website as well..



Robert Davidson 12" Moon Bronze edition of 12Also created from the alder 12" version was an edition of 12 bronzes in 1987, which measures 12" x 12" x 3". A large 4 foot version was also done in red cedar in 1984, which was donated by Robert to the Haida Gwaii Museum in Skidegate.
Robert Davidson 4' Red Cedar Sculpture
 
 




A mould was taken off of this to create a 1 of 1 four foot bronze as well as a paper cast edition of 12.






Robert Davidson Moon Paper Cast
The four foot red cedar mask had raven surrounding the moon, which Robert removed when creating the Paper edition. The bronze, however, is an exact copy of the four foot cedar version; this was commissioned by the Museum of Civilization to hang in the entrance of the great hall for the opening of the building in 1986.

Finally in 1997 the Royal Canadian mint also produced a $200 legal tender gold coin using this same design.

Thank you to Robert Davidson's Website for several of the images above.

The Damien Hirst Connnection

Spot Paintings by Damien Hirst

In 2005 Damien Hirst commissioned five 30' totem poles through the gallery by Robert Davidson, Don Yeomans, Ben Davidson, Tim Boyko, and Doug Zilkie. After the commission was completed, each of the artists as well as myself, received signed artist proofs of one of Damien's etchings. This all occurred more than four years ago. This fall two artists, working independently and within three weeks of each other, both took the Damien Hirst "dot" theme and expanded on it.

Trace Yeomans has one of these artist proofs hanging in her Vancouver home from the commission her husband did years ago. Inspired by this piece, she incorporated h
er own Haida art style and her work in ultra suede into the series of 9 dots. Trace has sewn 9 salmon eggs onto a white field in homage to Damien Hirst. With a healthy dose of humour, she's named the piece, "Haida Caviar".

Hirst Etching and Davidson Papercast
At the same time Val Malesku who lives in Haida Gwaii thought she would take the dot pattern idea and incorporate it into a serigraph print edition of 120. The result is a fantastic mix of traditional First Nations formline and contemporary pop culture. Val often stays with me when she visits Vancouver and has always admired the Damien Hirst etching which hangs in my condo.

It is surprising that two artists were inspired within three weeks of one another by the same etching, creating two pieces representative of their own style.

"Grandmother Eagle" by Bradley Hunt
As we enter the Fall it seems like everyone is getting back on schedule, including the artists.  This month we are launching a new bronze sculpture by Heilsuk artist, Bradley Hunt. This is an exciting piece as we haven’t seen much of Hunt’s work on the market in recent years. Bradley has been working with his two sons, Shawn and Dean, on a long term commission of a house on the coast of BC. "Entrance"Shawn Hunt was the chief carver, with his brother and dad supporting him on the project. "Entrance" This bronze is Bradley’s largest work since finishing the commission and the piece is titled, "Grandmother Eagle". It is a highly personal work in which he honours the multi-generational relationship between his matrilineal grandmother, his mother and himself. The Eagle figure is representative of his grandmother, the female face in the shoulder joint represents his mother, and he has included himself as the small Frog tucked into the tail feathers. The original was carved in Red Cedar and used to make the cast for this bronze edition of 12. It is 49” high, 18” long, 12” wide and is $45,000. “Grandmother Eagle” is such a powerful piece that the gallery is currently in talks with the City of Vancouver to have one mounted outside on South Granville for the public to enjoy.  It is a long process, but hopefully locals will see one of the bronzes on the boulevard in the coming months.

This month, Ben Davidson (son of Robert Davidson) has released a new print "Two be Four".  Ben is an accomplished artist with many large commissions and work in numerous important collections, and this year he has finally decided to release his first print. I was surprised that this is his first print as most artists release prints as their career is building and in all these years of carving, Ben has never done a print edition. The print is and edition of 76, measures 36" x 14 1/2" and is $625.

Modern Family NWC
The Modern Family NWC show was a great success. Here are some pictures of the show; the complete album available on our Facebook page. Many that attended the show asked about the availability of Kyran’s film and for those that didn’t get to see it, I've included it in this email. Trace’s innovations in textiles, which were showcased at this exhibition, may start a new trend for other fabric artists to follow.
 
 
Lateisha, who left the gallery earlier this spring came back to help with the show. Her venture into film making is proving to be an exciting move for her. She has been working on a documentary, featuring Kwakwaka'wakw artist Beau Dick. She brought us a copy of the trailer and we’d like to share it with you as well. I’m always surprised at what is kept and what is edited out, from an entire 45 minute interview.
 
 
The widow of a long time collector of the gallery thought this might be a good opportunity to offer her collection of Beau Dick masks. Her late husband amassed a collection of more than 250 masks, many of which were never displayed. I will be working with her over the next couple years, to pare down this collection. Given Beau’s recent VIVA award and upcoming documentary, it seemed like a logical time to bring these masks up onto the market.

LaTiesha says goodbye:

LaTiesha Fazakas, the Associate Director of the will be leaving the gallery this spring to pursue a career in documentary film making the first film focusing on Kwakwaka’wakw artist, Beau Dick. LaTiesha’s involvement with Northwest Coast art is expanding and she has reached a point where she can no longer balance a film career and her gallery responsibilities. She will be working with the gallery for at least another 18 months but will not be coming in on a daily basis once filming begins this May.

Beau Dick

Kwakwaka'wakw artist Beau Dick is the 2012 recipient of a $10,000 VIVA Award, granted annually by the Jack and Doris Shadbolt Foundation. Beau Dick is acclaimed as one of the Northwest Coast's most versatile and talented carvers. His work can be found in private collections as well as museums, including the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the Heard Museum (Phoenix), the Burke Museum (Seattle) and the Vancouver Art Gallery. The Audain Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Visual Arts and the VIVA Awards will be presented free at the Great Hall of the B.C. Law Courts (800 Smithe St.) May 9 at 7 pm, with a reception following.

John's pick of the week:

My pick of the week is this Shaman’s Mask by Kwakwaka’wakw  artist Marcus Alfred. I chose this piece because I like the graceful, flowing lines of the carving and the chilkat style decoration that runs along the forehead. This is a beautiful piece that acknowledges Marcus’ Tlingit branch of his heritage.

THE STORY OF GITSALIS

In ancient times my ancestor was a well respected chief, because of his great qualities and humble nature he was much loved among his fellow"TSAWADINOK" at "GWAYEE" known as Kingcome Village.
Because of GITSALIS prominence and popularity, this evoked envy, jealousy and resentment among his fellow chiefs. A plot to eliminate GITSALIS was set.

Four PAKALA (witches) were hired to obtain the necessary ingredients. This included Excrement, Urine, Clothing, hair and something that he breathes on at night. These PAKALA were very efficient, as GITSALIS' health failed quickly. His family began to suspect what was happening and decided to take their beloved chief to the home of his mother at Wake-man sound where the HAKWANIS neighbours of the TZAWADINOK lived. While Transporting the Chief, they arrived at the mouth of the river to discover the water too rough to continue so they decided to take the nearly deceased chief to a resting place close by. A cave at Anchorage cove was chosen; they left the chief with a little water and food he was laid to rest in peace. Upon returning to the village they reported their chief had perished and that they had left him at the cave.
Upon learning of their success the PAKALA (witches) knew they must destroy their work or get rid of it before it turned against them. This is how GISTALIS began to recover. He gained enough strength with the food and water that was left for him and was able to come back into the world of the living.

It is told that throughout the year GITSALIS was absorbed into the Supernatural world of BAKBAKWALANOOKSIWE Forest sprits. He eventually returns and appears at the village popping up here and there magically teleporting from one spot to another. He had become somewhat wild and had to be tamed with the ritual and the ceremony of the Red Cedar Bark before he takes his place among his family. The great Supernatural MUGAMTL mask accompanies him in his return. The first of its kind; several families amongst the Kwakwaka'wakw own the rights and privilege to display this mask.

The MUGAMTL has special pertinence to my (Beau's) family's identity and is considered an Iconic Treasure. I have rendered only a few of this type of mask, both for the Big House ceremony and the market but this one TAKES THE CAKE! It is by far the most satisfying piece I have ever done, as I have a clear understanding of it (The mask and related stories). 

If it could be used in its true context September 7-8th 2012 in Alert Bay at a Potlatch that I will be hosting, it would be the greatest fulfillment.

Isabel's Pick of the week,

In this panel, edition of 10, Sabina Hill and Mark Preston have worked together to create a Contemporary piece that speaks to a West Coast aesthetic while referencing the foundations of Northwest Coast visual traditions. The high gloss finish of the white lacquered wood against the rift cut white oak background appears, at first glance, to form an abstract image. However as the gaze focuses on different sections of the piece, figures appear. The Bear, the Eagle and a section of Chilkat Blanket. This piece elegantly stitches together the backgrounds of the artists who created it: Preston’s art and heritage, and Hill’s extensive knowledge of architecture and design. Together they capture an essence of the West Coast and its natural beauty and heritage

The Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC has commissioned Tsimshian carverDavid Boxleyand his son David Boxley Jr. to create a 22.5 ft totem pole for the museum’s Potomac Atrium.The Boxleys are currently completing and painting the pole in the museum atrium. The pole depicts the story of a young man who rescued an eagle entangled in a fishing net. The young man eventually became a chief. During a famine in the young man’s village, the grateful eagle brought food to his starving people. The young chief holding a fish stands at the base of the pole, the eagle stands above him.

LaTiesha's Pick of the Week:

My Pick of the Week is the Preston Singletary Crescent Moon sculpture we used for our Holiday Greetings. I choose this piece because of how it makes me feel. The way the glass illuminates to create a wonderful feeling of moon light gives me a sense of peace that I enjoy immensely; and as a feeling of peace is perfect for this time of the year I think it is a fitting December pick. I love it when a work creates an emotional response.

Isabel's pick of the week

My background/interests are in the material arts and so my pick of the week is an exquisitely carved Talking Stick by Haida artist Fred Davis. It depicts the Haida legend of Nanasimgit whose wife is captured by Killer Whale and taken to his house under the sea. Nanasimgit must travel to the depths of the ocean to rescue her. The power of the story is conveyed through Davis’ finely detailed work. His carefully chosen abalone inlay make Nanasimgit’s eyes blaze, while his refined carving conveys Nanasimgit’s determinationas his hands grip the fin of the Killer Whale whose teeth are clasped around his wife. In this graceful and succinct representation the drama of the legend is conveyed as the literal consumption of Nanasimgit’s wife represents the Killer Whale’s desire to make her his own.

Indian Act - Beau Dick

Indian Act - Beau Dick, Mixed media $8000.00

 

This piece began when the journey of a chair met a dream about a ghost. The chair started out at the Alert Bay Residential School, it then made its way to the local pub. When the pub burned down the chair was left on the curb where Beau picked it up and took it home for a carving chair. For many years this was Beau's favourite place to sit and carve.  Recently Beau decided the chair was to serve a new purpose and he incorporated it into this work. He painted the back of the chair with a box of treasure design and replaced himself with a ghost.  The ghost sits upon a few objects of significant meaning. The first is a copy of the Indian Act, and then loose ends of cedar rope and goat's wool and finally a woven cedar rose.  The cedar rose and ghost are part of the dream Beau had about the chair. In his dream the ghost was dancing around the chair seductively with a rose in its mouth performing his “Indian Act”.
