LANDSCAPE

 

September 18 - October 8

Landscape in Inuit graphic art has been usually defined by its absence. First
generation Inuit artists commonly focused on the wildlife of the Arctic,
traditional depictions of human life and on mythological legends, powers and
creatures. If landscape was incorporated, it was often only to highlight these
principal activities.

Today, landscape has become an important inspiration and subject in Inuit
drawings. Modern conditions, living in permanent settlements (and not on the
land) and the exposure to western culture and art have likely played a role
in this.

We invite you to enjoy this exhibition of landscape drawings by Inuit artists.

All works will be released for sale at 10 am, Vancouver time, Saturday, September 18, 2010.
