Shawn Hunt
June 19, 2024 - September 27, 2024
Presented by Equinox Gallery in collaboration with Westbank and the Fairmont Pacific Rim, Ḱáɫḷá is a solo exhibition of new works by Heiltsuk artist Shawn Hunt. Translated as 'to dream' in the Heiltsuk language, Ḱáɫḷá features a series of surreal scenes in which moments of the artist's own life are re-imagined as present-day daydreams infused with Indigenous traditions. Illuminated by the moonlight, Hunt's figures are suspended between the past, present and future, resisting a singular interpretation.
This is an off-site exhibition located at The Pacific Gallery in the Fairmont Pacific Rim.
Location of this exhibition:

Shawn Hunt

Shawn Hunt is a Heiltsuk artist born in Waglisla (Bella Bella), British Columbia. Hunt’s practice is directly informed by his Scottish, French and First Nations background and the visual culture and traditions that accompany it. He works with the traditional Northwest Coast design principle, known as formline, to create abstract, surreal, and sculptural artworks based on ancestral Heiltsuk Cosmology that often reference contemporary aboriginal life. Hunt is always seeking to push the boundaries of the art form, often combining non-traditional ideas with innovative uses of materials and motifs in his work.
