SHUVINAI ASHOONA, INUIT, Shelter, June 2005

Item Details

Description

SHUVINAI ASHOONA (1961-) KINNGAIT (CAPE DORSET)
Shelter, June 2005
ink on paper, 26 x 40 in (66.1 x 101.6 cm)
signed and dated, "ᓱᕕᓇᐃ ᐊᓱᓇ / 2005 June".

ESTIMATE: $6,000 — $9,000

Provenance
Feheley Fine Arts, Toronto; Acquired from the above by John and Joyce Price, Seattle, 2005.

Exhibited
Feheley Fine Arts, Toronto, Unique Visions, November 5-30, 2005; catalogue no. 32.

Shuvinai Ashoona’s earliest drawings primarily featured realistic landscapes with occasional references to traditional life. Shelter, dating to 2005, is larger and more confident than these. An extraordinary and almost velvet-like ground is created by her painstakingly detailed depiction of each piece of gravel. The larger rocks, with their expanses of white, appear even more three-dimensional against this background while the low stone wall and whale ribs left from an old dwelling seem to rise organically from the ground. It is a stunning drawing, monochrome and yet vibrant, fully charged by Ashoona’s detailed and energetic pen and ink strokes.

References: For similarly themed drawings by the artist see Sandra Dyck, Shuvinai Ashoona Drawings, (Ottawa: Carleton University Art Gallery, 2012), cat. 11, p. 73 and cat. 24, p. 95.
