| Synopsis: |
This is a stunning retrospective of a career that has spanned nearly four decades. Featuring over 150 of the Plains Cree artists mixed-media works, this sumptuous collection showcases the bold swaths of colour and subtle textures of Littlechilds work. Littlechild has never shied away from political or social themes. His paintings blaze with strong emotions ranging from anger to compassion, humour to spiritualism. Fully embracing his Plains Cree heritage, he combines traditional Cree elements like horses and transformative or iconic creatures with his own family and personal symbols in a unique approach. The book shows the evolution of an artist from his earliest works to the present day, including hints of future directions and themes. An insightful foreword by artist and curator Ryan Rice, a Mohawk from the Kahnawake First Nation in Quebec, and Littlechilds reflections on each piece build a broad understanding of Littlechilds work, his life and his views on the role of art within all cultures. |
