77: BENJAMIN CHEE (1944-1977) ACRYLIC ON PAPER

Benjamin Chee Chee (Ojibwa, 1944-1977)
Circle of Life (1973)
The innovative study of birds in flight composed in a never ending motif is executed on paper with acrylic paints and signed within the image. The work was purchased directly from Benjamin Chee Chee in Montreal in 1973.

Chee Chee is widely recognized for his elegant, minimalist depictions that remain fundamentally connected to traditional indigenous art, both in style and subject matter, despite the artist's modernist approach.

His works are held in the National Gallery of Canada and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.
Very good, very clean, intact, no stain, damage, repair, punctures or tears. This work had never been framed.
$2,000 - $3,000
