Description | Baker Lake (1924 – 2017) Barnabus Arnasungaaq was born in Baker Lake in 1924. As one of the eldest of the original group of carvers still working in Baker Lake, his work has been an influence in his community and on the art of the Keewatin area for four decades. The artist has carved Basalt stone since 1961 using “simple” non-electric tools. The sculptures that Barnabus creates have a stoic, enduring quality and remarkable presence that has found a large and willing audience throughout the world. Barnabus was married to graphic artist and carver Fanny Arngnakik (1929-2001). Taking after their parents, sons David (b.1964) and Norman (b. 1969) are carvers as well. “I don’t know where I get my ideas … because it’s all in your mind. It’s you that carves. I look inside myself. Sometimes, before going to bed, I examine the stone, carefully. And in the morning I know what it will be.” – Barnabus Arnasungaaq Exhibition information available upon request. |

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’.”
