| | Synopsis
|
Since leaving Haida Gwaii to study art in Vancouver—where he
carved argillite with Bill Reid in a department store and hand-sold
prints on the UBC campus—Guud sans glans, Robert Davidson has moved
between two worlds. As a host of Potlaches, carver of masks and totem
poles, and performer and teacher of traditional Haida songs and
dances, he has been one of the driving forces in the resurgence of
Haida culture in the aftermath of colonization. As an artist working
in serigraphs, acrylic, wood, silver, and aluminum to preserve and
breathe new life into Haida formline, he has become among the most
respected, celebrated, and thrilling artists in the country, if not
the world. Echoes of the Supernatural is the first publication in
over forty years to offer a comprehensive visual retrospective of his
astonishing career. It includes new photography of over 150 prints,
as well as images of over fifty paintings; numerous painted woven
hats, painted and carved sculptures, jewellery, aluminum sculpture;
and dozens of archival photos. His long-time gallerist Gary Wyatt,
who worked closely with Davidson in shaping the book and received
full access to his archives, details the artist's life and career,
and offers insights on the work based on extensive new interviews. A
foreword by Karen Duffek situates the contours of Davidson's practice
within the broader Northwest Coast art world.
