Contemporary Drawing in Kinngait, 1995–2015 Drawing holds a long history at the Kinngait Studios. For many artists it served as their introduction to artmaking, as graphite pencil and paper were among the first media available to in the late 1950s and early 1960s. While drawings were purchased by the co-op, they were seldom marketed for sale and prints dominated the … Read More
Fusion: Collaborative Drawings
The notion of collaboration has existed at the Kinngait Studios since its inception. In the late 1950s, the concept of printmaking was introduced involving two players—artist and printer—to work in tandem to produce a graphic. Fast forward to 2022: Johnny Pootoogook, Shuvinai Ashoona, and Quvianaqtuk Pudlat each collaborate on a single drawn composition titled Head of a Wolf —the result … Read More

The Lithograph
What do Shuvinai Ashoona’s Tentacles (2018), Ningiukulu Teevee’s Stepping Out (2020), and Ooloosie Saila’s Festive Owl (2021), have in common? They are all lithographs—a largely popular, yet little understood method of printmaking. The art of lithography made a late arrival to the Kinngait Studios as printers began experiments in the early 1970s. In 1975, lithographs made their debut in the … Read More
The Etching and Aquatint Print
Paul Machnik and his world-renowned Montreal-based print atelier, Studio PM, began collaborating with the Kinngait Studios artists more than twenty-five years ago. The introduction of the etching and aquatint technique was game changing, rejuvenating the monochromatic etching medium which artists had dabbled with in the early 1960s and again in the 1970s. The difference between the early etchings and Machnik’s … Read More

PERSPECTIVE: Seattle Art Fair 2019
An art fair is a whirlwind, for visitor and exhibitor alike. Unpacking and building our booth and hanging the art is always a race against. Once the booth is installed and the doors are open, it’s a real joy to make new connections. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as exposing the uninitiated to the depth of Canadian Inuit art. It’s … Read More
