Description

Tunirrusiangit Kenojuak Ashevak and Tim Pitsiulak is a book that celebrates the achievements of two remarkable Inuit artists who challenged the parameters of tradition. Kenojuak Ashevak, known as the "magic-marker-wielding grandmother of Inuit art," was a defining figure in Inuit art and one of the first Indigenous artists to be embraced as a contemporary Canadian artist. Her nephew, Timootee (Tim) Pitsiulak, followed in her footsteps, becoming a popular figure known for his precise drawings of animal figures and his depiction of the technological presence of the South in Nunavut. This book features over 60 reproductions of paintings, drawings, and documentary photographs, showcasing the artists' unique vision of the Inuit world view. The book is accompanied by essays from contemporary artists and curators, providing insight into both the past and future of Inuit identity. Published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Tunirrusiangit offers a unique perspective on the lives and work of two remarkable Inuit artists.
