Paint on wood board
Artist Statement:
Authentic Aboriginal (Longhouse Series) is a tongue-in-cheek poke at the debate over what authentic aboriginal art and culture is.
Aiming to shed light on the dark, hidden history that Canada continues to harbour towards its Aboriginal people; Sonny Assu’s work is conceptually and aesthetically designed to challenge the authenticity of Aboriginal art while simultaneously reflecting upon our western civilization’s consumption culture.
