Ellen Neel - Select works - April 5th to april 19th, 2014

Vancouver, bc - MARCH 24, 2014: Lattimer Gallery is proud to present a
collection of rare works by the late Ellen Neel. Comprised of classic masks
and exquisite model poles, this small show demonstrates Ellen's range of
skills and idiosyncratic style.

 

Kwakwaka'wakw artist Ellen Neel, born in 1916, is well known in the
Northwest Coast Native art market for a number of reasons. She was the
granddaughter of Charlie James and the niece of Mungo Martin, both acclaimed
artists and pole carvers. She was also the first woman to professionally
carve totem poles in British Columbia, based out of her own workshop called
Totem Arts Studio in Stanley Park. In addition to creating poles and masks
for the tourist market, Ellen also completed many commercial commissions
that both promoted Northwest Coast culture and elevated her status within
the fine art market.

 

Our Ellen Neel exhibition will be on display from Saturday, April 5th to
Saturday, April 19th. An online preview of the works will be available on
March 29th. Please join us for our reception on Saturday, April 5th  from
2-5pm to celebrate the show's opening.
