This striking portrait evokes the signature style of Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun through its bold use of colour, surreal form, and layered meaning. As one of five paintings in a compelling series, it contributes to a broader narrative exploring Indigenous identity, resistance, and transformation. The integration of Northwest Coast design motifs over the human face connects individual identity to Indigenous cosmology, echoing Yuxweluptun’s practice of infusing personal and political commentary within his art. The surreal blending of natural and abstract elements challenges the viewer’s perception, aligning with the artist’s critique of cultural commodification and colonial histories. Like much of his work, this piece stands as a powerful visual assertion of Indigenous presence and transformation in contemporary Canadian art.

Remarque: ce lot n’est pas encadré.
