Description / Synopsis
David Neel, born in 1960, is a professional photographer as well as a hereditary Kwakwaka'wakw artist. He works in a number of mediums including wood sculpture, photography, printmaking, and painting. He specializes in traditional mask about contemporary history, and photography of people for commercial, editorial, documentary, and fine art use. He is also a writer and a lecturer. Neel draws on his Kwagiutl heritage for his artistic direction. He inherits his name Tlat’lala’wis’ and a rich artistic heritage from his father, David Neel Sr. His father, a Fort Rupert (Tsaxis) Kwagiutl, was taught to carve by his mother, Ellen Neel (who was taught by her maternal grandfather, Charlie James), and her uncle, Mungo Martin. Neel uses the work of his ancestors as the starting point for his own interpretation of carving and design. Neel studied in Kansas and later moved to Dallas, Texas, where he had the opportunity to work with some of the country’s top photographers. He returned to Vancouver in 1986. His images appear in magazines and posters, as well as in museums and galleries in the United States and Canada. Influenced by the “concerned photographer” such as W. Eugene Smith and Henri Cartier-Bresson, Neel uses his photography, sculpture, serigraphs, and writing to comment on today’s issues.
