About Lyle Wilson
Born and raised in the Haisla community of Kitamaat, British Columbia, Lyle
Wilson studied fine arts and education at both the University of British
Columbia and the Emily Carr College of Art and Design. He also undertook an
intensive exploration of what he refers to as ³the classic Northwest Coast
style² while working as a commissioned artist at the Museum of Anthropology
at UBC (MOA). The artist¹s 20-year association with MOA enabled him to study
the work of past masters and develop his own understanding and
interpretation of the style of painting popularly known as formline.

About the Exhibition
The first major exhibition of paintings by Vancouver-based Haisla artist,
Lyle Wilson, revealing his evolving artistic vision and celebrating his
accomplishments as a painter. Created over a period of 20 years, this
collection of 58 works shows remarkable detail in execution, and reflects
narrative themes and personal stories.

Paint: The Painted Works of Lyle Wilson runs through September 15, 2013.

The presentation of Paint in this Gallery would not have been possible
without the generous support of the Deux Mille Foundation, The Mary and
Gordon Christopher Family Foundation, Museum of Anthropology at the
University of British Columbia, and The Listel Hotel.
 
We also gratefully acknowledge the support of the following organizations
for their respective contributions to the creation of this exhibition and
accompanying catalogue: Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Arts Council, Canada
Council for the Arts, The Haisla Nation Council (HNC), Michael O'Brian
Family Foundation and the Audain Foundation for the Visual Arts.
 
An exhibition catalogue is also available for sale at the Bill Reid Gallery
Gift Shop. It offers a comprehensive visual record of the exhibition with
over 30 essays by the artist that help explain his paintings and reflect his
keen interest in the Haisla language.
