      • Tim Pitsuliak, Lake Harbour, Jan. 1986, ink on paper
        Nov. 24, 2024

        Tim Pitsuliak, Lake Harbour, Jan. 1986, ink on paper

        Est: $1,500 - $2,000

        Born in Kimmirut (Lake Harbour) in 1967 to Napachie and Timila Pitsiulak, he is the nephew of artist Kenojuak Ashevak. Tim lived in Cape Dorset for several years and enjoyed working in the lithography studio with visiting arts advisor, Bill Ritchie. The land and its wildlife were initially the primary influences on Tim’s realist drawing style. Tim was a hunter and his respect for the natural world and its wildlife is fundamental to his artistic sensibility. Tim was particularly inspired by the whales that frequent the cold, Arctic waters — the beluga and the bowhead — because, as he said, nobody really knows much about them. In 2013 the Royal Canadian Mint featured a Pitsiulak drawing of two beluga whales and a bowhead whale on the Canada's 25-cent coin. His work combined traditional motifs with contemporary techniques. His work is in the collections of institutions such as Feheley Fine Arts and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, the Inuit Gallery in Vancouver, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Canada, the Canadian Museum of History, and the Rockbund Art Museum. Sadly he passed away from pneumonia in December of 2016.

        TIM PITSIULAK (1967-2016), ᑎᒻ ᐱᓯᐃᓚ, CAPE DORSET DREAM CATCHER graphite and coloured pencil on paper, signed and titled in Roman 28 x 20 in — 71.1 x 50.8 cm Provenance: Gallery Indigena, Stratford, ON Private Collection, London, ON Note: Born in Kimmirut (Lake Harbour) in 1967, Tim Pitsiulak’s remarkable body of work draws on his personal experiences living in Cape Dorset and hunting its surrounding territories. Though well-known for his large-scale mythical graphite and pencil drawings of Northern wildlife, including polar bears, walruses, and Bowhead whales, he later shifted his focus to documenting vernacular life in Cape Dorset. In these realist drawings of modern machinery such as four-wheelers, aluminum boats, and cargo planes, Pitsiulak maps familiar characteristics of his community. Many of his drawings make use of stark black backgrounds, which soon became a kind of signature for him, and also serve to uniquely frame and intensify the drama within his subject matter. Along with producing drawings and prints, Pitsiulak was also trained in jewellery-making and carving, proving his exceptional range and capabilities as an artist. Pitsiulak passed away in 2016 at age 49 from complications due to pneumonia. Matthew Ryan Smith, Ph.D., is the Curator and Head of Collections at Glenhyrst Art Gallery in Brantford, Ontario. Estimate: $2,500—3,500

Trained in jewelry making, photography and having tried his hand at carving, it was his drawings in particular that made him “one of the most sought-after contemporary Inuit artists”. As a hunter he had an intimate knowledge of wildlife and the natural world, which served as inspiration for his drawings.
