Norval Morrisso
Exhibition March 30 − November 30, 2018
Gallery of Canadian art McMichael presents a solo exhibition of self-taught artist Norval Morrisso. He developed his own technique and artistic language, which includes legends and images that came to him in visions and fantasies. The peculiarity of the style lies in the symbolism of the “x-ray of the soul” of living beings and their close interconnection. The symbols have very deep historical roots, lying in the sacred scrolls of birch bark, in the rock paintings of the Great Lakes region, as well as legends and myths of North American Indians. With the help of symbols and colors, Morrisso talked about the mysteries of nature, ancient rituals and myths.
Norval Morisso (1932 - 2007) - Canadian artist of Indian origin. He became the founder of a new style of painting, called “Woodland, forest land”. Norval Morisso received international recognition for his innovative, bright and sometimes provocative style, based on traditional Ojibway images. Morrisso considered it his duty to write down the legends and traditions of his people, not only for future generations of Indians, but for the whole world.
