Opening March 12th, our upcoming exhibition is a retrospective of acclaimed multimedia artist Arnaqu Ashevak.

Ashevak was at the vanguard of a younger generation of Inuit artists who pushed the boundaries of art making and successfully crossed over into the contemporary art scene. His untimely death in 2009, at the height of his career, left many art enthusiasts today unaware of this extraordinary artist who was far ahead of his time. Influenced both by global culture and international artists, his profound, whimsical, and innovative artistic voice transcended cultural limits, creating poignant social commentaries on the human condition.

Arnaqu Ashevak: A Retrospective highlights a curated collection of works on paper and sculpture from 1994 to 2008, celebrating Ashevak’s wide range of interests, his mastery of varied media, and his fearless experimentation.
