ᐸᓇᐸᓯ ᐊᓇᓴᒐ Barnabus Arnasungaaq

ᐸᓇᐸᓯ ᐊᓇᓴᒐ Barnabus Arnasungaaq was one of the first participants in his community’s sculpture program in the early 1960s. His work has had a great influence on his community and on the art of the Keewatin for more than four decades. Although he created a number of prints and drawings during his career, Arnasungaaq is first and foremost recognized as an important figure in contemporary Inuit sculpture. He continued to make works that embody the wonderful ideographic quality that we have come to associate with the artistic communities of the tundra. During his career, the artist participated in more than 100 group and solo shows in Canada, the United States and abroad. Today his works can be found in important collections, such as the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Center, the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology, the National Gallery of Canada, the Center of the Dennos Museum, the Canadian Museum of Civilizations, the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum and much more.
