Visioen. Orig. 43 cm x 59 cm (1995)
De rust die ligt over het indianenkamp, de mensen beschut in hun tipi, wetende dat een hogere kracht over hun waakt in de symboliek van “Chief Joseph” Heinmot Tooyalaket van de Nez- Perce indianen. Met aan beide zijden de krachtdieren beer en wolf en de donderwolken die over de bergen wegtrekken en de zon weer te voorschijn laten komen.
Vision. Orig. 43 x 59 cm (1995)
When artist Ellen Uytewaal experiences the vastness and rugged beauty of Canadian nature during a trip, she also became interested in the original people of North-America. Now it turns out that the memories of this country and the sence of solidarity with Indian culture have become the source of inspiration, from wich she obtains deeply felt ideas. Shortly after her homecoming in Holland she painted “Vision” while her knowledge about Chief Joseph and the native Americans was still very limited. Later on she discovered that the intuitively painted portret of this inspiring person exactly represents the meaning of his indian name “Hin Mah Too Yah Lat Kekt “: “Thunder rolling over the mountains”.
