Kiakshuk

First Name: Kiakshuk

Biography (English): Kiakshuk was a Inuk graphic artist based in ᑭᙵᐃᑦ / Kinngait [Cape Dorset] and was part of the early days of the drawing and printmaking program in ᑭᙵᐃᑦ / Kinngait.

ᓗᒃ ᐊᖑᐊᓗᖅ Luke Anguhadluq

First Name: ᓗᒃ ᐊᖑᐊᓗᖅ Luke

Last Name: Anguhadluq

Biography (English): Luke Anguhadluq was an Inuk printmaker and graphic artist from Tariunnuaq [Chantrey Inlet], NU. He spent the majority of his life living on the land in an Utkuhikhalingmiut camp until later in life when he relocated to ᖃᒪᓂᑦᑐᐊᖅ / Qamani’tuaq [Baker Lake], NU. At 73, Anguhadluq began drawing exploring themes of hunting, drum dancing and community. In 1969 a printmaking program was introduced in ᖃᒪᓂᑦᑐᐊᖅ / Qamani’tuaq and Anguhadluq’s drawings were quickly transformed into prints. Over 80 of Anguhadluq's artworks were featured in the Baker Lake Print Collection. His earlier works from 1960-1969 were composed using graphite, felt-tip pen and coloured pencil. Human figures from this early period are generally silhouetted in dark colours, though this style does reappear in later works such as String Game (1973). From 1970-1982, Anguhadluq gained access to higher quality paper as well as a larger range of coloured pencils and ink and as a result he incorporated more colour into his compositions. He also increasingly added more details to his works such as tattoos and decorative clothing. Anguhadluq also began incorporating multiple perspectives into his work, moving away from narratives that happened on a linear plane and beginning to portray larger groups of people. The drawing Drum Dance (1970) prominently features a top-down view of the activity concentrated around the drum. Anguhadluq has an accomplished artistic legacy. In 1976 he shared an exhibition space with his wife Marion Tuu'luq at the Winnipeg Art Gallery titled Tuu’luq/Anguhadluq. In 1993 the Art Gallery of Ontario organized a solo exhibit of Anguhadluq’s work titled From the Centre: The Drawings of Luke Anguhadluq, held in Ottawa at the National Gallery of Canada.

Biography (French): Luke Anguhadluq était un graveur et graphiste Inuk de Tariunnuaq (Chantrey Inlet), au Nunavut. Il a passé la majeure partie de sa vie sur les terres d’un camp Utkuhikhalingmiut jusqu’à ce qu’il déménage plus tard à ᖃᒪᓂᑦᑐᐊᖅ / Qamani’tuaq [Baker Lake], au Nunavut. À 73 ans, Anguhadluq a commencé à dessiner en explorant les thèmes de la chasse, de la danse du tambour et de la communauté. En 1969, un programme de gravure a été introduit à ᖃᒪᓂᑦᑐᐊᖅ / Qamani’tuaq et les dessins d'Anguhadluq ont été rapidement transformés en gravures. Plus de 80 œuvres d'Anguhadluq figuraient dans la collection d'estampes de Baker Lake. Ses premières œuvres de 1960 à 1969 ont été composées à l'aide de graphite, de feutre et de crayon de couleur. Les figures humaines de cette première période sont généralement représentées dans des couleurs sombres, bien que ce style réapparaisse dans des œuvres ultérieures telles que String Game (1973). De 1970 à 1982, Anguhadluq a eu accès à du papier de meilleure qualité ainsi qu'à une plus large gamme de crayons de couleur et d'encre et, par conséquent, il a incorporé plus de couleurs dans ses compositions. Il ajoute également de plus en plus de détails à ses œuvres, tels que des tatouages et des vêtements décoratifs. Anguhadluq a également commencé à incorporer de multiples perspectives dans son travail, s'éloignant des récits qui se déroulaient sur un plan linéaire et commençant à représenter des groupes plus larges de personnes. Le dessin Drum Dance (1970) met en évidence une vue de haut en bas de l’activité concentrée autour du tambour. Anguhadluq a un héritage artistique accompli. En 1976, il partage un espace d'exposition avec son épouse Marion Tuu'luq à la Winnipeg Art Gallery intitulé Tuu'luq/Anguhadluq. En 1993, le Musée des beaux-arts de l’Ontario a organisé une exposition personnelle de l’œuvre d’Anguhadluq intitulée Du centre : Les dessins de Luke Anguhadluq, tenue à Ottawa au Musée des beaux-arts du Canada.

He developed silkscreen and photographic collage techniques with elements from graphic design and advertising. He applied Pop art to graphic work, using plastic and photography as in his two and three-dimensional interpretations of a gum machine used real gumballs and a silk-screened machine as well as his versions of a toaster and tape-recorder. He also made sculpture, painting and photography, as well as audio and visual installations.

David Barnett

First Name: David

Last Name: Barnett

Biography (English): Combining found elements with those fashioned by his own hand, David Barnett's work encompasses two- and three-dimensional collage as well as sculptural objects. Infused with a rich sense of history, the essence of his work lies in the age-old struggle between nature and the man-made industrial world. He incorporates Victorian era botanical imagery, ancient anatomical diagrams, and vintage mechanical components along with natural materials. Whether it’s a rusty piece of metal, branches from an oak tree, or tiny turquoise-tipped rooster feathers, the right juxtaposition reveals itself to his—the more absurd, the better. A character is born and a narrative begins to unravel. The theme of flight is recurrent, as is the conflation of anatomy and mechanics. The result is a menagerie of ethereal winged creatures, human and animal hybrids, and fanciful flying machines. In this era of mass-production and instant gratification, it’s his hope that these intimate and meticulously crafted works will also evoke a sense of rarity, delight, and mystery.

Biography (French): Combinant des éléments trouvés avec ceux façonnés de sa propre main, le travail de David Barnett englobe des collages bidimensionnels et tridimensionnels ainsi que des objets sculpturaux. Imprégné d'un riche sens de l'histoire, l'essence de son travail réside dans la lutte séculaire entre la nature et le monde industriel créé par l'homme. Il incorpore des images botaniques de l’ère victorienne, des diagrammes anatomiques anciens et des composants mécaniques d’époque ainsi que des matériaux naturels. Qu’il s’agisse d’un morceau de métal rouillé, de branches d’un chêne ou de minuscules plumes de coq aux pointes turquoise, la bonne juxtaposition se révèle à lui : plus c’est absurde, mieux c’est. Un personnage est né et une histoire commence à se dérouler. Le thème du vol est récurrent, tout comme l’amalgame entre anatomie et mécanique. Le résultat est une ménagerie de créatures ailées éthérées, d’hybrides humains et animaux et de machines volantes fantaisistes. À l’ère de la production de masse et de la gratification instantanée, il espère que ces œuvres intimes et méticuleusement conçues évoqueront également un sentiment de rareté, de plaisir et de mystère.
