ART AUCTION 2024 FEATURE ARTIST: FAYE HEAVYSHIELD
For nearly 40 years, Faye HeavyShield has inspired generations through her work as one of Canada's preeminent contemporary artists and as a mentor, writer, and matriarch.
The unique landscape of HeavyShield’s home community near Stand Off, AB and her personal history as a member of the Kainai Nation are evoked in her site-specific installations and minimalist sculptures. Her use of natural materials and imagery explore themes of family, community, Blackfoot language, and place that root HeavyShield’s work firmly in the soil of the foothills of southern Alberta.
HeavyShield studied at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Alberta. She has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation, St. Louis, MO; Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, BC; Gallery Connexion, Fredericton, NB; The Power Plant, Toronto, ON; Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge, AB; the National Gallery of Canada; Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art, Winnipeg, MB; and at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Her work is found in the collections of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Glenbow Museum, Heard Museum (Phoenix), Kelowna Art Gallery, MacKenzie Art Gallery, McMichael Canadian Art Collection, National Gallery of Canada, and Nickle Galleries (Calgary).
She is the recipient of an Eiteljorg Native American Contemporary Art Fellowship and received the 2021 Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Distinguished Artist Award and the 2021 Gershon Iskowitz Prize at the AGO.
