Dempsey Bob

Dempsey Bob
Salmon

Dempsey Bob is a distinguished Tahltan and Tlingit artist of the Wolf Clan. His highly expressive works acknowledge the lineage to which they are indebted—in many cases telling the stories of his ancestors—while incorporating an expansive knowledge of sculptural practices worldwide. By blending traditional narratives with contemporary influences, he re-imagines convention with highly animated creations. His distinctive masks, bentwood boxes, and sculptures (both large scale and small) are striking in their distinguishing hallmarks: highly refined surfaces, voluptuousness of form, expressive shifts in proportion, and a unique approach to figural groups.

Dempsey Bob’s distinctive masks, boxes, and sculptures are striking for their hallmarks. Smooth and seductive surfaces, voluptuousness of form, and expressive shifts in proportion are unique to his oeuvre. Ian Thom, senior curator at the Vancouver Art Gallery, remarks on Bob’s inventiveness and prowess as an artist: “The plasticity of the carving is striking: it is deep, with fluid lines, almost as if Bob had carved butter rather than wood. It would be a mistake, however, to dwell on the technical skill of the piece, because the power of this and all Bob’s work comes from the strength of his imagery.”
