About the Work:
Bio:
Sonny Assu (b.1975) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses painting, sculpture, installation and mixed media. Regarded as among the vanguard of young Vancouver-artists working today, Assu was selected to participate in How Soon Is Now, a recent survey show at the Vancouver Art Gallery. In merging Northwest Coast Aboriginal iconography and pop-culture aesthetics, Assu challenges social values, redefines perceptions of Aboriginal art, and pushes the boundaries of contemporary practice. Works by Assu explore the definition of complex personal histories, through consumer goods and pop culture.
