We are currently web based and located in Vancouver BC, Canada. We specialize in aboriginal art primarily Woodlands, Southwest and Northwest coasts. Private viewings are always available at my home studio. Not being tied down by a retail outlet allows us to be more efficient in locating collections and rare pieces of art. We strive to be your only resource for the named artists we represent.

Having operated a retail gallery on Main Street in Vancouver for years has given us the experience needed to be well educated in the native art world and always cherish our relationships within the art community.

We also handle small and large estates. Not just aboriginal as we have expertise in many other areas including collectable furniture, sculptures, hand blown glass and many other art works. Please contact us with any questions you may have.

Thank you so much for visiting our web site and please keep coming back as we always have new works being presented.

Kind Regards

Darrell Gilmore
Director

NEW WORKS FROM MASTER JEWELER AND CARVER BILL HELIN

In the 1970s, Daphne Odjig brought together a small group of native artists to collaborate with and support one another.The group—Odjig, Norval Morrisseau, Jackson Beardy, Carl Ray, Joseph Sanchez, Eddy Cobiness and Alex Janvier—quickly gained attention for their spirited, stylized canvases that gave a visual interpretation to the First Nations oral tradition and challenged the establishment's perspective of Aboriginal art as craft. The group's work covered the gamut from intensely spiritual to slyly humorous, deeply personal to fiercely political. It took Canada by storm, in both native and non-native communities. Eventually they were even referred to as the "Indian Group of Seven," a tongue-in-cheek comparison that nonetheless pointed to the impact this group made both culturally and politically. The Gilmore Gallery of the Arts has available all the Indian Group of Seven painters.

GARY R. MILLER - original Stone Lithograph 1980

First original stone lithograph is a four-color image based upon the Crow sacred arrow ceremony of courage practiced by various Indian \nations throughout the plains regions of North America. This ceremony was very important to the Crow nation.

In the ceremony, young warriors would stand side by side or in a circle and shoot their arrows straight into the air. The warriors had to remain perfectly still. The one whose descending arrow landed closest without killing him, was considered to have shown the greatest amount of courage. The tribe felt that he was chosen by the creator for an even greater purpose.... that of leading the tribe in battle. Death in battle was considered a privilege by the Crows. The ceremony served to instill pride and bravery in times of conflict and kept the nation strong.
