Norval Morrisseau: Medicine Currents<\/h2>\n

September 17 – December 17, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carleton University Art Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Connect to the healing force of Norval Morrisseau’s work<\/h3>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s lots of stories that are told in Ojibwe but that wasn\u2019t enough for me. I wanted to draw them\u2014that\u2019s from my own self\u2014my own idea what they look like.\u201d (Norval Morrisseau, Return to the House of Invention<\/em>, 1996, p. 92).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Through his innovative visual language, Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau gifted viewers a vision of our interconnected world expressed as a sense of balanced motion at play, understood as Mino Bimaadiziwin in Anishinaabemowin.<\/p>\n

Medicine Currents<\/em> features a range of paintings, drawings and objects by Morrisseau that celebrate the artist\u2019s storytelling vocabulary. His work is richly infused with divided circles that express balance, good and evil, day and night, and heaven and earth, black lines of movement and power, and an increasingly vibrant use of colour. It is grounded in his clear understanding of the relationships between all living entities.<\/p>\n

Medicine Currents<\/em> offers a profound sense of the artist\u2019s transformational and nurturing vision of land, sky and water. This exhibition unveils the healing aesthetic in and power embedded within Morrisseau\u2019s work, which draws inspiration from the past, resonates in the present and envisions a transformative future.<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/strong> We acknowledge with gratitude the lenders whose generosity has made Medicine Currents <\/em>possible: the Canadian Museum of History, John Cook, Indigenous Art Collection at Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada and Westerkirk Works of Art.<\/p>\n
