PROVENANCE
Acquired directly from the Artist by the present Private Collection, Vancouver


Celebrated internationally, Robert Davidson has devoted his life’s work to the evolution and radical re-interpretation of Haida design vocabulary. The great-grandson of legendary artist Charles Edenshaw, Davidson is considered a leading figure of the Haida cultural renaissance, and draws on historical forms both Western and Indigenous in creating a hybrid visual language.

This series of 20 silkscreen prints comes from the collection of the Vancouver-based artist who assisted Davidson in their production. Created over a decade from 2001 to 2011, these meticulous and precise works pay homage to the important tradition of printmaking in Indigenous art. They are a culmination of Davidson’s exploration of form in images woven with history and myth, and condensed to their essential graphic elements of line and colour.

Davidson’s work has been the subject of major retrospectives, including Eagle of the Dawn at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1993 and The Abstract Edge at the Museum of Anthropology at UBC in 2004, the latter of which included several original paintings on which Davidson based a number of these silkscreen prints.

The National Gallery of Canada has an edition of this print in their collection.

The full sheet size is 16 1/4 x 15 inches.

Please note: this work is unframed.
