Philip Gray (Tsimshian/Cree) Red Cedar Panels

Philip Gray, Red Cedar Panels, 60" x 96", Bear, Frog, Moon

Tsimshian/Cree artist Philip Gray is known for his clean lines and flowing designs, and these custom ordered red cedar triptych panels are no exception. From left to right, the set of panels depicts deeply carved Bear, Moon, Dragonfly and Frog designs enclosed by a thick border. The flow of the design is momentarily interrupted by the negative spaces in between each panel, creating a visual effect that requires the viewer to piece together the full design. Each panel measures 60” x 30”: the sheer size of these beautiful panels is enough to leave you in awe.

Mitch Adams

We introduced you to Haida/Tsimshian artist Mitch Adams in our recent Spring 2011 Newsletter. As a student of the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art in Terrace, Mitch is a promising new artist whose style is colourful and eclectic. While his formline design and subjects are based on art from the north of British Columbia, his composition and colours are undeniably unique.

Lattimer Gallery is currently carrying most of Mitch's prints, and they are reasonably priced since they are among his first. The image to the left depicts Mitch's 'Moon Cycle' print, which measures 7" x 30" and is available for $45.00 CAD.
