</span></em><span lang="EN-US" class="">A capsule retrospective of the late artist Daphne Odjig is set to open on Friday, September 13<sup class="">th</sup> at 6:00 at the Kelowna Art Gallery on the week of what would have been her 100th birthday. Odjig is
one of Canada’s most celebrated Indigenous painters and printmakers, and has often been referred to as “the grandmother of Canadian Indigenous art”.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family: Arial;" class="">The
</span><i style="font-family: Arial;" class="">Daphne Odjig 100, </i><span style="font-family: Arial;" class="">exhibition includes twelve large-scale paintings that were sourced from local collectors. The pieces were selected to illustrate different periods
in the artist’s career. Visitors will be able to trace the life and times of the artist as she goes from experiencing the challenges of being an Indigenous person in a time of systemic oppression in Canada, to becoming a celebrated artist and National treasure,
sure of herself and her artistic voice.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Arial;" class="">In her earlier works, such as
</span><i style="font-family: Arial;" class="">Nanabozo and the Hoot Owls</i><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""> (1969),
</span><i style="font-family: Arial;" class="">People of the Forest</i><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""> (1969), and
</span><i style="font-family: Arial;" class="">Nanabush and Windigo</i><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""> (1968), we meet Daphne Odjig as an emerging artist—the choice of colours, figures, and tension present in these early works denote angst and discomfort.
These pieces embrace the darker aspects of the human spirit and condition, and are charged with an intensity in flame-like hues, expressing a sense of pain, anguish, or anger.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Arial;" class="">In contrast, Odjig’s later works, such as
</span><i style="font-family: Arial;" class="">Messengers of Peace</i><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""> (1991),
</span><i style="font-family: Arial;" class="">Canopy of Protection</i><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""> (1987), and
</span><i style="font-family: Arial;" class="">Tapestry of Time</i><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""> (1987), are serene and subdued in their colour pallettes of blues, greens, icy violets, corals, and various pastels. The characters depicted in these
paintings are interwoven with the background, which can be viewed as portraying a oneness; a deeper connection to their environment, to their community, and the celestial heavens.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><em class=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-style: normal;" class=""><font face="Arial" class="">Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the range of work Daphne Odjig produced throughout her career during
the exhibition’s run, from September 14, 2019 to January 5, 2020.</font></span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family: Arial;" class="">An opening reception will be held to celebrate the exhibition on Friday, September 13, 2019, from 6 to 8 pm. It is a free event, open to Gallery members and guests, by
invitation.</span></p>
