The Art Of Dimension: Jesse Brillon With Marlo Wylie Brillon
Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art, Vancouver, BC - To Oct 15
Indigenous knowledge sharing and the enduring power of Haida carving in both cedar and precious metal are spotlighted in this exhibition. Influenced by Bill Reid, who was a close family friend, Haida-Cree artist Skil Xaaw Jesse Brillon is acclaimed for his accomplished work in copper, gold and silver and his deep knowledge of repoussé, chasing and lost-wax casting. His art is shown here alongside Reid’s and four cedar carvings by Brillon’s niece and protégé Haayłingtso Marlo Wylie Brillon, creating a three-generational line of inspiration and mentorship.
