"My Father's Inukshuk" Limited Edition Inuit Art Print - Germaine Arnaktauyok
$43.95
Made in Nunavut
My Father's Inukshuk - Germaine Arnaktauyok
This individually signed and number limited edition Inuit art print was printed in Iqaluit, Nunavut and features the Germaine Arnaktauyok print "My Father's Inukshuk".
"I never questioned being an artist."
Germaine Arnaktauyok is renowned for her talents as an illustrator and master print maker. The daughter of carvers Therese Nattok and Isidore Lytok, she started to draw on any material available while still a young girl in Igloolik. When she was sent to a residential school at Chesterfield Inlet at the age of nine, she met a nun who gave her art lessons. Germine sold her first painting at the age of 11.
Germaine has studied Fine Arts at the University of Manitoba and Commercial Art at Algonquin College in Ottawa. Germaine developed her print making style at the Arctic College and Arts Induvik Canada. Germaine Arnaktauyok has illustrated several children's books and her work is featured in children's books from the Baffin Divisional Board of Education.
The ideas for Germaine's work stem from traditional Inuit legends and from living and witnessing the unique lifestyle of her people. Her unique, paradoxical character parallels her creative sensibilities: she is a simple woman, yet sophisticated; proud, yet modest; contemporary urban yet traditionally rural. As for subject matter, Germaine is particularly interested in female entities and concerns - the sea goddess Sedna, creation and birth - which are expressed in very personal ways that humanize the subject.
Germaine's image on an Inuit drum dancer now appears on the 2000 edition of the Canadian $2 coin.

Kenojuak Ashevak Cultural Background: Inuit from Ikirasaq, southern coast of Baffin Island.

Kenojuak first began experimenting with drawing and stone carving in the late 1950s. Her early work appeared in the Cape Dorset Annual Graphics Collections, launching a career that would include numerous national and international commissions, special projects and exhibitions.

"Emergence" - Rick Beaver
$20.95
"Emergence" matted print measures approximately 8"x6", and is double matted with white mats. Overall measurements: 11"x14", portrait orientation. The matted and framed print is double matted with white mats and black framing measuring 12" x 14.25". The numbered Limited Edition print measure 24 1/2" x 30" and is double matted with a black wood frame.
Rick Beaver was born in 1948 on the Alderville Indian Reserve on Rice Lake, Southern Ontario. His degree in wildlife biology has had a strong influence on his painting, which he began full-time in 1981. His art evokes an emotional response which harks back to the origin of earth's people.
Allying nature and art, Rick's works show definite textured contrasts. Backgrounds are softly amorphous and lilting compared to the sculptural linearity of the creature he has chosen to depict. This melding of forms that are faithful to biology with abstract backdrops is at the heart of the paintings of Rick Beaver.

Four months later, her youngest brother Jesse took his own life. She created her second aboriginal painting as a way to acknowledge her love and honour for her brother. The pain of losing Jesse took her to a doorway where her journey of self discovery began through her northwest coast art.

Alex Janvier (1935)
Cultural Background: Dene Suline and Saulteaux
Born in 1935, Alex Janvier was raised in the nurturing care of his family until the age of 8 when he was uprooted from his home and sent to the Blue Quills Indian Residential School near St. Paul, Alberta. Although Janvier speaks of having a creative instinct from as far back as he can remember, it was at the residential school that he was given the tools to create his first paintings. Unlike many Aboriginal artists of his time, Janvier received formal art training from the Alberta College of Art in Calgary and graduated with honours in 1960.
In 1993, Morning Star was installed in the river end of the Canadian Museum of History's Grand Hall. The work's title refers to the star's use as a direction-finder. Janvier intended the four areas of colour in the outer ring to represent periods in Aboriginal history: yellow for early history in harmony with nature; blue for the changes brought about by contact with European civilization; red for revival and optimism ; and white for reconciliation and a return to harmony.

During the 1970's and 80's Monague followed the Pow Wow circuit in a van with his family down to Mexico. His work ended up in various museums and galleries along the way. Monague donates his time and artwork to many worthwhile causes, while helping others. "I feel my art speaks to my culture. I have made a name for myself with my work and reputation but it has taken a long time." He passed away peacefully to the Spirit World at the Georgian Bay General Hospital with his family by his side in 2019.

"Our mothers and daughters, our sisters and aunties and grandmothers. Our women are our heart and our spirit, always honoured, never forgotten. I am Dakota Sioux, a woman and mother, and an artist. These are inseparable facets of who I am and how I live in the world. That world, the world we all live and move in, is a place of great and terrible beauty, of wonder, and of tragedy. In this painting I speak to that wonder and beauty and tragedy.
To capture both the wonders and the tragedy, I wanted to include motifs which connect with all the places our people live. Turning first to the West Coast peoples, I am honoured to have been allowed to include the moon image of my friend, artist and visionary Roy Henry Vickers [..] From the North, I incorporated the image of Sedna, the source of all the creatures of the sea. I have always been drawn to the shell and bead work of the Maliseet and other East Coast peoples and in this painting have echoed the fluidity and grace of their compelling designs. And then, the two feathers, acknowledging the Metis, and the peoples of the grasslands and woodlands, of the plains and the forests. Finally, the floating figures throughout the painting are the spirits and the presence of the missing and murdered women.
Missing but never lost.
Always present, always remembered." - Maxine Noel
