Fazakas Gallery is pleased to announce Jason Baerg’s solo exhibition ᓭᓭᓯᐤ / Sêsêsiw / Yellow Legs.
Opening reception: Friday, February 21st, 6-8 PM
Jason Baerg’s relational painting installations and experimental media works respond to his ancestral homeland by extending the visual language of Indigenous Abstraction. Through abstraction and interplay of form, pieces such as Ka semakamok kîkway ᑲ ᓭᒪᑲᒧᐠ ᑮᑲᐧᕀ / Projection (Morning Star) and Umpehdu weeunpe dooweh eyeh / He who paints the day (Thunderbird) present expansive three-dimensional forms as they hover across white walls. Meanwhile, works such as Pimohceskanas ᐱᒧᐦᒉᐢᑲᓇᐢ / Pathway and Ka Wâsekwahk ᑲ ᐋᐧᓭᑲᐧᕁ / Sky Blue - sizeable figures in their own right - are grounded on the gallery floor, activating a connection between the earth and the artworks themselves.
