What: New works by Daphne Odjig
When & where: Feb. 3 to March 29 at Cube Gallery, 1285 Wellington W.
Daphne Odjig once said that if her art has opened doors between Native and non-Native Canadians, “then I am glad. I am even more deeply pleased if it has helped to encourage the young people … to express their pride in our heritage more openly, more joyfully than I would have ever dared to think possible.”
Odjig has surely accomplished more than she ever — as a young girl on the Wikwemikong Reserve on Manitoulin Island almost a century ago — dared to think possible. She is regarded as one of Canadian art’s great voices, and embraced as “the grandmother of aboriginal art.” She has the Order of Canada, a Governor General’s Award, many medals and citations, and at least seven honorary doctorates. Books have been written about her and movies made about her. Her work has been shown around the world, and was celebrated in 2009 in the National Gallery’s “first solo exhibition by a First Nations female artist.” The gallery’s notes say the show articulated “the breadth of Odjig’s engagement with her personal and cultural history, and also traces (her) remarkable aesthetic development” over almost five decades of work.
