Join Kelly Robinson, Latham Mack, Cody Lecoy, and Keith Kerrigan as they discuss their work, their creative processes, and the influence of Bill Reid’s legacy on Northwest Coast art.
Highlights include:
Artists sharing the concepts and processes behind their works.
An exploration of how storytelling weaves into their artistry.
A conversation on the impact of Bill Reid's art.
For those interested in the convergence of tradition and innovation in art, this discussion sheds light on contemporary practices rooted in cultural heritage.
An artist of Syilx (Sailx and Lekwung-en) ancestry, Cody Lecoy was born in Richmond, British Columbia in 1989. Most of his work is acrylic on canvas, using Northwest Coast formal design elements and surreal expressionism to create a visceral response that connects us to the environment. Before coming to art, Cody grappled with where he stood in the world. These days he feels part of a lineage, making work that is informed by shared values. My hope is that the art I make serves to show common ground where people can come together within subjects and concepts that affect all of us within this time period.
