Gitxsan artist's bio available with purchase.
Northern style Indigenous art is generally shared among northern Nations. Two dimensional design is called formline. Carving and painting surfaces has clearly defined rules and principles. The primary formline is usually black. It’s a continuous line that outlines the subject. There is a red formline that outlines secondary details. The third order of spaces are coloured blue or green, or left unpainted. The ovoid and U-shape are elements of the black formline that outline body parts like joints, eyes and ears. Salmon / trout heads are common secondary elements. The stye of this paddle uses only black paint on all lines. The unpainted parts show the old growth yellow cedar and the artists tool marks.
