The small Arctic community of Coral Harbour—known as Salliq in Inuktitut—is home to a number of talented sculptors who transform unconventional materials in extraordinary ways. This selection of sculpture proves that there are no limits when it comes to media, whether it be whalebone, antler, stone, baleen, and sinew. Featuring works by Daniel Shimout, Henry Nakolak, Johnny Kataluk, Kupapik Ningeocheak, and more.

Kinngait-based artist Quvianaqtuk Pudlat only began his artistic career in 2017 and has already taken the art world by storm with his dynamic drawings. Feheley Fine Arts is pleased to present a solo-exhibition of both large and small-scale drawings by the artist that expand on his earlier depictions of Arctic wildlife. Agile foxes and contorted caribou are among a few of the spectacular subject matter that Pudlat explores in this new body of work.

The tradition continues! We are pleased to announce the dates of our annual exhibition of small-scale sculptures by Inuit artists from across the Canadian Arctic. This year’s selection will feature works by artists from Kinngait (Cape Dorset), Qamani’tuaq (Baker Lake), Arviat, Coral Harbour, and more.

Alongside new drawings by Shuvinai Ashoona, we are thrilled to present work by another cutting-edge woman artist, Maudie Okittuq. Based in Talurjuaq (Taloyoak), Okittuq began carving in the late-1960s and has enjoyed an over fifty-year-long artistic career creating remarkable sculpture primarily out of stone. The transformations, shamans, and spirit figures in this delightful selection of work highlights not only Okittuq’s extraordinarily unique vision, but also her exceptional ability to translate the spirit world into stone.

Alongside Maudie Okittuq’s fantastical sculptures, we are pleased to introduce a new series of wall-hangings by textile artist, Annie Taipana. Taipana’s distinctive wall-hangings are defined by whirlwind compositions of arctic animals, executed in brightly coloured applique and intricately layered stitchwork. Originally from Qamani’tuaq, Taipana now resides in Rankin Inlet where she continues her artistic practice.

Graphic artist William Noah led a prolific art career that lasted nearly five decades. Working in the media of acrylic paint and coloured pencil, Noah was best-known for depicting scenes of his community of Qamani’tuaq. Today, in addition to his renown as an artist, Noah’s legacy lives on as a prominent member of his community. This retrospective exhibition is the first since Noah’s passing in 2020, and will feature a selection of never-before-seen works by the artist.
