ᑕᐅᑐᑉᐹ Tautuppaa: Tim Pitsiulak and the Art of Long Looking
$55.00
This richly illustrated volume reveals the remarkable breadth and complexity of an artist whose images bridge technical mastery, cultural knowledge, and imaginative vision.
Born in Kimmirut, Nunavut, Inuit artist Tim Pitsiulak (1967-2016) balanced life in Kinngait - a community renowned for its graphic arts tradition - with time on the land. The precise calibration of detail and distance in his work speaks to a dedicated practice of "long looking" honed through his experiences as both a skilled hunter and artist. Rooted in careful observation, memory, humour, and deep attentiveness to the living world, Pitsiulak's luminous drawings offer a powerful expression of looking as knowledge, relation, and artistic practice.
ᑕᐅᑐᑉᐹ Tautuppaa: Tim Pitsiulak and the Art of Long Looking, presented in English, French and Inuktitut, considers the work of Tim Pitsiulak through the forms of sustained attention that animate Inuit image-making more broadly. Edited by Shauna McCabe of the Art Gallery of Guelph, the volume includes reproductions of drawings and prints from public and private collections, essays by curator Taqralik Partridge and writers Emily Laurent Henderson and Janice Grey, and reflections by collectors and gallerists whose long-standing engagement with Pitsiulak and his work provides insight into his artistic development, reception, and enduring legacy. Together, these contributions trace the histories of Inuit visual storytelling and Kinngait Studios, while engaging with contemporary Arctic experience and broader conversations about land, adaptation, observation, and environmental change.
Both an exhibition catalogue and an important scholarly contribution, this publication offers an accessible yet substantive resource for readers interested in Inuit art and contemporary Canadian art.
