Lot #40: Michael Robert Robinson “Spirit Lodge” Signed Indigenous Lithograph 13/99 – Anishinaabe / Métis Spirit Imagery

Striking limited edition original lithograph titled “Spirit Lodge” by Indigenous artist Michael Robert Robinson, hand‑signed in pencil and numbered 13/99 in the lower right margin. The composition features a central tipi adorned with animal and human spirit figures, surrounded by ethereal silhouettes, star constellations and landscape elements that reference Anishinaabe / Métis teachings and connection to the land. Soft blue‑grey and earth tones are layered with fine line etching to create a dreamlike scene of ceremony and storytelling, presented matted and framed under glass ready for display. Very Large picture measures 96x 76 cm Robinson was born in 1948 in Timmins, Ontario, of Cree–Métis heritage (Anishinaabe/Métis) and trained at Sheridan College’s School of Design, initially as a glassblower before turning to painting and printmaking. His work merges traditional Indigenous stories and teachings with contemporary techniques, often exploring themes of environmental stewardship, transformation, and the sacred relationships between people, water, and animal nations. In this print, the dreamlike underwater world, star‑like points of light, and presence of a human figure within the fish evoke those teachings about balance and responsibility to Creation, making it a strong example of Robinson’s spiritual and narrative style.
