JASON CARTER, THE REFLECTING BEAR REFLECTS, 2018

Jason Carter

Bearclaw Gallery, Edmonton, AB - April 13 – 25

by Robin Laurence

Widely acclaimed artist Jason Carter, from the Little Red River Cree Nation, works across painting, sculpture, illustration and public art. Carter’s stone carvings and brightly coloured, darkly outlined paintings – reminiscent of stained glass – often retell stories passed on to him from the elders of his community. Featuring wild creatures, such as Bear, Moose and Raven, the stories combine traditional narratives with Carter’s rich imagination to tell what he calls “new stories filled with wonder and morals.”
