Homage depicts the simple image of the beaver (amik) at home in the wild surrounded by the two principal elements of its existence, water and trees. The circle encompassing the beaver represents Mother Earth. Above, one can see the sun, which, along with Mother Earth sustains and unites all life and the elements. This interdependence is rendered by the long thin lines running throughout the piece, connecting all of the elements to one another: sun to earth; earth to beaver; beaver to tree; tree to water, etc. The beaver is striking an almost reverential pose as it looks up to the tree. Indeed, as the beaverâs very being is dependent on trees one can understand why this animal would pay âhomageâ to the trees of the forest lands.
The subject matter and style of artist Mark Nadjiwan is predominantly inspired by his First Nation heritage. He is a self-taught artist whose chosen medium is pen and ink and his unique style is primarily a âfusionâ of the Woodland and Northwest Coast Native art traditions. In his work, one can often see the Woodlandâs characteristic x-ray and wavy line motifs interwoven with the clean formlines and geometry that often typify Northwest Coast art. Markâs work can be found in galleries and venues across Canada as well as private collections in both Canada and the United States. His First Nation roots are grounded in the Georgian Bay and Lake Superior Treaty regions. He lives in the traditional territory of the Anishnabek Nation, in Treaty 72, along with his artist wife, Patricia Gray, who works in various acrylic mediums.
