Equinox Gallery is pleased to present Dream Season, a solo exhibition of new works by Heiltsuk artist Shawn Hunt. This exhibition 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.
The exhibition opens on Thursday, October 17th. For more information, please contact the gallery at info@equinoxgallery.com

Shawn Hunt is a Heiltsuk artist born inWaglisla (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.
