Yuxweluptun, Lawrence Paul, 1957-, (Newlands; First Nations; National Gallery of Canada -- Recent Acquisitions; Humour and Irony in

YUXWELUPTUN, Lawrence Paul

Born: 1957, Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada

Coast Salish painter, printmaker, multi-media and performance artist renowned for his
colourful contemporary history paintings that critique the political, environmental and
cultural issues affecting Aboriginal rights and land claims, Lawrence Paul
Yuxweluptun was born in Kamloops, British Columbia. His mother is Okanagan and
his father, Ben Paul, Coast Salish. Yuxweluptun's interest in politics was cultivated in
his youth while attending meetings and demonstrations with his parents who were
both active in the North American Native Brotherhood. In addition, his mother was
involved with the Indian Homemakers Association of British Columbia, and his father
was founder of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs. At the age of fourteen,
Yuxweluptun began dancing the Sxwayxwey mask, a right he inherited from his
father. During this period he also began to express his political views artistically,
drawing figures and imaginary creatures derived from the forms and legends of
Northwest Coast art.

In 1978, Yuxweluptun enrolled at the Emily Carr College of Art and Design,
Vancouver, and graduated in 1983 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a major in
painting. At the College, he studied with Don Jarvis, Ken Wallace, Sylvia Scott,
Bruce Boyd, Bill Featherston and others. While at the College, Yuxeluptun refined his
methods for integrating Coast Salish cosmology, Northwest Coast formal design
elements, the Western landscape tradition and Surrealism into his art. As art historian
Scott Watson has written, "His landscapes owe their basic scheme to Dali's oneiric
desert landscape… Their topography is the dream world of the land as apprehended
by the eyes of an initiate. Hollowed-out hills and figures with holes in the middle tell
us that the spirit dream world and its inhabitants are ailing."

In the mid-1980s, Yuxweluptun began to paint large works in acrylic and oil that
expressed his views about the destruction of the British Columbian natural
environment, as well the plight of Aboriginal peoples living in urban centres. In The
Environmentalist, 1985, a masked semi-human male with a hole in his chest, and
painted entirely red, looks aghast at the toxic landscape behind him. In Downtown
Vancouver, 1987, a masked white male mingles with three masked nude women with
diverse skin colours who together allude to the prostitution and degradation of inner
city women.

In the 1990s, Yuxweluptun continued to produce large colourful paintings of
imaginary landscapes that were more explicitly critical of the white man's destruction
of Aboriginal ancestral lands. In Red Man Watching White Man Trying to Fix Hole in
Sky, 1991, an angry masked creature whose body is composed of multi-coloured
ovoid forms is juxtaposed against a barren middleground where tiny figures of white
people in white lab coats battle the depleted ozone layer by applying a giant blue
band-aid to the sky. In the distance, Northwest Coast ovoid shapes and colourful
masks carpet the mountain landscape. In Scorched Earth, Clear-Cut Logging on
Native Sovereign Lands, Shaman Coming to Fix, 1991, a red shaman with spirit
helpers expresses despair over the destruction of ancestral lands strewn with
obliterated visual symbols of Aboriginal identity. In his statement for the 1992
National Gallery of Canada exhibition, Land Spirit Power, Yuxweluptun insisted, "I
am concerned with the colonial mentality that is directly responsible for…the
depletion of fish stocks on the West and East Coasts, acid rain, nuclear waste, land
fills, smog, the greenhouse effect, mining tailings, endangered animals, pollution of
freshwater reservoirs, toxic wastes of all kind…"

In addition to painting, Yuxweluptun has also created multi-media and performance
works. In 1991, he produced a virtual reality installation, Inherent Rights, Vision
Rights, in which users explored Aboriginal spirituality through a virtual visit to a
longhouse. In 1997, in the north and the south of England, Yuxweluptun
performed An Indian Act: Shooting the Indian Act, in which he shot bullets into copies
of the Federal Government's Indian Act that in 1868 restricted the rights of Aboriginal
peoples across the nation. In 2003, he repeated the performance on the Kitigan Zibi
Anishinabeg Reserve near Maniwaki, Quebec.

In 1998, Yuxweluptun created a new body of abstract paintings in which multi-
coloured flatly painted "ovoid" forms (a blunted oval shape often associated with
Northwest Coast First Nations' cultures), were variously arranged against
monochromatic backgrounds. In the exhibition catalogue, Colour Zone the artist
explained that "the ovoid serves as a philosophy to think about such things as land
claims, Aboriginal rights, self-determination and self-government, social conditions
and environmentalism…a new way for me to express Native "modernalities"…it is
about colonial deconstruction and Aboriginal reconstruction." Reviewing the 2001
exhibition of this work, Winnipeg art critic Robert Enright observed, "he has
employed these shapes in multiple sizes and unpredictable colours to create paintings
that look as if a kaleidoscope has been freeze-framed… The Totems are especially fine
- a joyous reduction of the totem's narrative to a story about radiant colour." In 2002,
Yuxweluptun extended the abstract potential of the ovoid to sculpture, creating a
series of Ground Totems in honour of the First Peoples of Japan, for the Aomori Art
Centre, Aomori, Japan
.
Into the early years of the 21st century, Yuxweluptun continued to produce highly
political figurative works such as Two Men Talking About the Kyoto Accord Global
Warming, 2002, in which small masked figures whose bodies are constructed from a
stack of numbers engage in a dialogue while First Nations spirit figures collapse
behind withered trees. New Chiefs on the Land, 2006, depicts a row of men in dark
suits each distinguished by colourful Northwest Coast masks and suggests the on-
going clashing of cultures in contemporary times.
