Invitation

It is with great enthusiasm that Gallery Phillip extends an invitation to our collectors of fine Inuit Art for the release of the 2015 Cape Dorset Print Collection. This release it to be held at Gallery Gevik, located at 12 Hazelton Avenue in Yorkville.

Preview: Friday, October 16th, 2015 - 10:30 am to 7:00 pm
Reception and Sale: Saturday, October 17th, 2015 - 9:00 am to 6:00 pm
Sale continuing: October 17, 2015 - October 31, 2015

This collection of prints showcases the region's talented artists as they capture everyday life through the lens of the imagination. The collection consists of 31 prints by 12 talented Cape Dorset artists. Our artists this year are: Ningeokuluk Teevee, Nicotye Samayualie, Kudluajuk Ashoona, Papiara Tukiki, Shuvinai Ashoona, Malaija Pootoogook, Qavavau Manumie, Saimaiyu Akesuk, Pitaloosie Saila, Ettusa Kingwatsiaq, Cee Pootoogook, and Ohotaq Mikkigak.

The long respected Ningeokuluk Teevee offers us seven vibrant and expressive images of her characteristic spiritual subject matter. This year she charms us further with more contemporary themes in her affectionate depiction of a modern Inuit mother holding her giggling infant child in Red Umbrella (#7). Young artist, Nicotye Samayualie, exploits the patterns of nature to render traditional landscapes in contemporary form in her stunningly detailed and sophisticated black-and-white stonecut print Upingngivik (Summer Camp Site) (#9). The tremendously talented Shuvinai Ashoona's career demonstrates a fascinating evolution of creative skill and style. Her outstanding Global Currents (#15) etching and aquatint print captures mystical and metaphysical themes through a more sophisticated, modern rendering of colour, movement, and texture. The subject matter and title suggests Ashoona's environmentally conscious sensibility.

I encourage you to visit the gallery on Friday, October 16th, starting at 10:30am until 7:00pm, at 12 Hazelton Avenue, to preview the prints. The entire collection is also available for preview online. Should you have any inquiries, please contact us at info@gevik.com or 416-447-1301. Please note that there is no printed 2015 Cape Dorset brochure.

We would be delighted if you would join us for a continental breakfast on the morning of Saturday, October 17th at 9:00 am to celebrate the opening of the 2015 Cape Dorset Annual Print Collection. As the sale officially begins at 9:30am, I strongly recommend you arrive early, if you have already selected a particular print.

My best regards,
Phillip Gevik
