Tide Walker
Ben Davidson
Price upon requestSerigraph, Edition of 77
2017
Unframed
(For inquiries on custom framing, please contact the gallery)
Ben Davidson’s Tide Walker is a remarkably expressive serigraph by one of the Northwest Coast’s foremost artists. The blend of traditional and contemporary formlines, as well as the use of rich and saturated colour, joins to create an aesthetic that is distinctly a Ben Davidson work.
Below are the artist’s own words regarding this piece:
“Tide Walker exists in the space between the land and the ocean. From afar, he appears as a dorsal fin, so we imagine his body beneath the waves. We are so desperate to be the first to see the killer whale that we allow our minds to complete his story before we have time to determine the truth. We are so swiftly lured into believing the surface story that we rarely take time to consider what lies beneath.” (Davidson, 2017).
Ben Davidson is an internationally-renowned contemporary First Nations artist. He is the son of Robert Davidson, also of international fame. Ben stays true to his Haida ancestry, while always pushing the boundaries of traditional artwork.

Raven Glass Panel
Moy Sutherland
Price upon requestAvailable upon special order – individually custom-made
Glass, sandblasted
Red Cedar wood, Stainless steel, Acrylic paint
Limited edition of 11
36 x 36 x 1″ (glass only)
39 x 39 x 3″ (including black mounting)
With a traditional formline design etched into the contemporary medium of glass, Moy Sutherland’s Raven Panel constitutes an elegant example of coastal First Nations’ artwork in the modern era.
While panels are a common feature of Pacific Northwest Coast art, they are primarily carved from laminated planks of cedar wood. Glasswork panels are still quite rare, but truly attest to the evolution of contemporary coastal art over the last decade. This particular panel is a lovely illustration of the interplay between tradition and innovation that can be found in many Northwest Coast artworks of today.

Llgaay Gwii Sdiihlda (Restore Balance)
Ben Davidson
Price upon requestSerigraph, Edition of 81
2020
Unframed
(For inquiries on custom framing, please contact the gallery)
“Llgaay Gwii Sdiihlda means to restore balance. According to my father-in-law, it applies when we are about to fall, but we manage to catch ourselves before we fall. I chose to name the print Llgaay Gwii Sdiihlda because I believe that even when we are in a state of uncertainty, we still have the ability to regain our balance.
The print features an image of Sea Bear. Though there is not much information about him, I think of him as a protector of the ocean, which is symbolized by the blue. In Sea Bear’s mind, we can see the importance of finding balance in our lives. Sea Bear’s companion, Sea Ghost, can also be seen faintly in the waves in the background of this print. Sea Ghost represents our connections to our parents and our ancestors. In order to continue our journey forward, we must listen for the echoes of our ancestors who will help us restore balance in our lives.” – Ben Davidson, 2020
