Jim Logan – Artist Biography
Jim Logan was born in 1955 in New Westminster, British Columbia and studied at the Kootenay School of Art in Nelson B.C. Since 1984 he has exhibited his works in over forty venues. Much of his oeuvre is characterised by his many novel approaches to the narrative of Native life from folksy, illustrative work to his current use of erudite parody. In either case, Logan's humour and affection for his culture is tempered by a concern for the restoration of identity and self-awareness within First Nations communities.
Logan laments the low visibility of aboriginal aesthetics in formal art history and uses parody to underscore the hegemony of Western artistic tradition. Thus by "Indianizing" the masters, old and new, he has added new significance, a Native perspective, to the icons of Western art. Logan's essentially post-modern approach in delivering a message through his art is therefore a "questioning of European dominance in all aspects of our culture, not just throughout North America, but...the world [as well]. This general acceptance of European culture as a positive force, an ideal to aspire to and attain...I started questioning...how I've been affected by this, and how my people have been affected by this."
