Description
For this Co-op Logo by Tapaungai Qatsiya from Kinngait, the artist has selected two traditional serpentine stonecolors and created an appealing juxtaposition. The subject of the Co-op logo is whimsical, yet the fore and backgrounding is nicely executed, shows attention to detail, and will appeal to any collector of Cape Dorset Inuit Art.
Tapaungai Qatsiya (B. 1986) is an Inuit artist from Iqaluit, Nunavut. He learned to carve at the age of 10, by watching his father and grandfather at work. He currently resides in Kinngait (Cape Dorset).
He is known for his small and creative carvings, which depict a variety of traditional and contemporary subjects. His works are quite elaborate and often include several different stones and materials, all intricately carved.
