Description

1962-

Quvianaqtuk’s parents were both printmaking artists and his grandfather Simeonie Quppapik was a well-known artist, printmaker and typographer.

For many years, Quvianaqtuk was a well-respected sculpture and his carvings of animals and birds are in many fine collections. Recently, he began drawing and several of his prints have been included in the Cape Dorset Annual Print Collection since 2017.

In the spring of 2020, Quvianaqtuq was the Inuit artist-in residence at Open Studio in Toronto. While there. he produced two serigraph editions, Playful Foxes I and II.

Quvi, as he is referred to by his friends, is a serious hunter and his keen observations of the natural world is reflected in the movement and anatomy of the animals in his compositions.
