Northwest Coast Indigenous Moon Cycle Print Numbered deals

In Northwest Coast Native culture, the moon is a tranquil force associated with protection. Rather than depicting Moon in a rigid and stylized manner, Coast Salish/Kwakwaka'wakw artist Maynard Johnny Jr has here represented it in various forms, alluding to the lunar cycle. Measuring 20 inches tall by 10 inches wide, this narrow giclee is from a limited edition of 120 prints. It is signed by the artist and will fill your space with whimsy.

Maynard Johnny Jr, a resident of Chemainus, began his career as a teenager, and has continued his self-directed development of art-making. He is of Coast Salish descent on his father's side from Penelakut Island and Kwakwaka'wakw descent on his mother's side from Cape Mudge on Quadra Island. Recently, he began to venture from painting into jewellery deals and wood carving. He is inspired by notable artists including Robert Davidson, Art Thompson, Richard Hunt, and Mark Henderson. He was featured in the Changing Hands: Art Without Reservation 2 exhibit at the Museum of Art and Design, New York, in 2005. In 2009, Maynard's work adorned the cedar gift boxes that were given to special guests at the Canadian Juno Music Awards. His works can also be seen in film (Say it Ain't So) and television series (Grey's Anatomy).
