Description
Two Fish by Kakee Ningeosiaq from Kinngait – Cape Dorset is a delightful representation of one of Kakee’s favourite themes: the dancing fish. This carving combines very modern, almost abstract lines of the contemporary sculpture with the frivolity, gaiety and joy-ness of the imaginary dancing fish
Kakee was born in Iqaluit but moved to Cape Dorset in 1993. He began carving at the age of 16 and although he is self-taught, he also learned by watching other carvers. His father, Ningeosiak Peter, and his mother, Parnee Peter are both sculptors in Cape Dorset. Kakee’s grandfather, the late Jamasie Teevee was a well-known graphic artists.
In August, 2019 School of Fish, a large scale sculpture in bronze by Kakee was unveiled at the Royal Botanical Gardens as the newest addition to the Dan Lawrie International Sculpture Collection.The sculpture stands in the reflecting pool in front of the Turner Pavillion Teahouse. This delightful little Two Way Dancing Bear by Kakee Ningeosiak has come to us through a private collector.
Two Fish by Kakee Ningeosiaq from Kinngait – Cape Dorset is a delightful representation of one of Kakee’s favourite themes: the dancing fish. A great collector’s item.
