Artist | Jupa Ishulutaq |
Nation | Pangnirtung |
Description | Jupa Ishulutaq is the son of the master carver Jaco Ishulutaq and the grandson of the prolific graphic artist Elisapee Ishulutaq. The two artists are known for using life in their community as inspiration to highlight the importance of family life and relationships, whilst drawing upon themes of environmental and social change. Jupa is an emerging carver following in the footsteps of the elder Ishulutaqs and working to uphold the family legacy. Pangnirtung is a hamlet on Baffin Island, Nunavut, located 50 kilometers (31 miles) south of the Arctic Circle on an ancient beach in Pangnirtung Fjord at the north end of Cumberland Sound. Renowned for its traditional Inuit arts and crafts, this artistic community has a population of 1400, roughly 95% of whom are Inuit. |

Hunters Struggling for a Spear
Thomas Ugjuk
CA$7,175.00Basalt, Antler1973
“A remarkably animated work for the artist whose style is comparable to his father’s (John Kavik). In an interview with the artist in 1993, which appeared in the winter edition of the Inuit Art Quarterly, Ugjuk describes the difficulty he had in deciding what to carve. This may be why there are not many of his works available on the market. Both Kavik and Ugjuk were self-taught artists and took to carving whenever they were not hunting.”
“Ugluk says, ‘I would try to concentrate on an idea of mine and gradually expand on it as I went along which would lead to some comprehensible form for the carving I was working on. And, other times, it seemed that trying to stay with one idea didn’t always work so, rather than getting stuck with one idea, I would just work on a carving and what it would become’.”
