First Name: ᐸ Parr

Biography (English): ᐸ Parr was an Inuk artist. He lived a traditional Inuit lifestyle until 1961, when he settled in ᑭᙵᐃᑦ / Kinngait [Cape Dorset] because of declining health and a hunting accident. In ᑭᙵᐃᑦ / Kinngait, Parr began to draw and make stonecut relief prints. He created over 2,000 works in the next eight years.

His work is included in the permanent collections of several museums, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, the Canadian Museum of History, the Dennos Museum Center, the National Museum of the American Indian, the British Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art.

Gisele Amantea

First Name: Gisele

Last Name: Amantea

Biography (English): Gisele Amantea lives in Montreal where she taught in the Studio Arts program at Concordia University from 1995 to 2012. Amantea's work is known for its interdisciplinary focus and innovative use of a variety of materials, formats and processes to explore questions related to gender, class, nostalgia, history, memory and the relationship of private and public space. Media in which she has made work ranges from sculpture, drawing, wallpaper and textiles to video and bookworks. At the same time, her practice has had a strong research base in the sense that work is often made in response to, provoked or generated by a specific context or place, and depends, to some extent, on research undertaken in these locations. This includes making on-site observations, visiting official repositories of history such as archives, museums and libraries and unofficial and vernacular collections such as those found in junk stores, popular media locations and private residences.

Les médias dans lesquels elle a travaillé vont de la sculpture, du dessin, du papier peint et des textiles à la vidéo et aux livres. Dans le même temps, sa pratique repose sur une solide base de recherche dans le sens où le travail est souvent réalisé en réponse, provoqué ou généré par un contexte ou un lieu spécifique, et dépend, dans une certaine mesure, des recherches entreprises dans ces lieux. Cela implique de faire des observations sur place, de visiter des dépôts historiques officiels tels que des archives, des musées et des bibliothèques, ainsi que des collections non officielles et vernaculaires telles que celles trouvées dans des brocantes, des lieux médiatiques populaires et des résidences privées.

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.

She received Honorary Doctorates from Queen's University (1991) and the University of Toronto (1992) and many films were made about her life. Her work is included in the collection of the Art Museum The University of Toronto, St. Lawrence University, the National Gallery of Canada, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum and the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.
