Visions Of The Hunt

Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre, Medicine Hat, AB - To Sep 15

by Robin Laurance

As the title suggests, this powerful and sometimes controversial group show explores the nature and practice of hunting and the shifting relationships between wild crea-tures and the human beings who may prey upon them. Drawing on the observations, experiences and traditions of modern and contemporary Prairie artists, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, the works here range from fur-swathed portraits of Europeanroyalty to life-size sculptures of bright red stags wreathed in horns.
