Prints and printmaking
• The Kinngait Studios in Cape Dorset, Canada, was founded in the 1950s
• Artists like Shuvinai Ashoona, Kananginak Pootoogook and Kenojuak Ashevak
created some of the most well-known pieces of Inuit Art
• The style of the prints vary from region to region
• Kinngait prints: often show different animals, like caribou, owls, polar bears, whales,
seals and arctic char, in contrasting and bold colours, like Ashevak’s ‘Enchanted Owl’
• Puvirnituq prints: reflect the everyday life and are usually monochromatic in colour;
can also depict stories and legends
