ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
On tour from the Kelowna Art Gallery, this exhibition celebrates the life and work of Sharni Pootoogook (1922-2003), whose bold and balanced ink-on-paper drawings blur the boundaries between human and animal, spiritual and visceral. Pootoogook’s work draws clear connections between first-generation artists in Kinngait and the current trends in Inuit graphic art.
