This limited edition serigraph (silkscreen print) titled "One World" by the renowned Coast Salish master carver and artist, Charles Elliott (Temosen-thut).
This specific piece was created in 2003 (noted as "140/150 - one world - C. W. Elliott 2003") and was to be a commemorative gift or commission for the Lester B. Pearson College of the Pacific to celebrate their 30th anniversary (1974–2004).
Recent Auction History: Similar serigraphs by Elliott have sold for approximately $190 to $260 CAD at Northwest Coast art auctions.
Because this piece includes a brass plaque from Pearson College, it has added historical value for alumni or those associated with the United World Colleges (UWC), though this doesn't always translate to a higher general market price.
The artwork utilizes the "Trigon" and "Crescent" shapes characteristic of Coast Salish visual language.
The composition features two mirrored circles, representing the "One World" concept through the lens of Indigenous interconnectedness.
The faces are rendered in Red, Yellow, Black, and White—the colors often used in Indigenous medicine wheels to represent the four directions and all races of humanity.
The blue waves at the bottom signify the coastal environment of the Salish people and the Pacific setting of Pearson College.
The surrounding circular motifs represent salmon or spirit beings, symbolizing life cycles and sustenance.
Owning a piece by Charles Elliott means owning work by an Order of British Columbia recipient who was a pioneer in the revival of Coast Salish art.
The bold primary colors and balanced circular geometry make it a striking focal point for professional or residential spaces.
The piece serves as a physical record of the partnership between Indigenous artists and international educational institutions like Pearson College.
