Plots & Icons: Drawings by Itee Pootoogook

The Marion Scott Gallery is pleased to present Plots and Icons, an exhibition of drawings by Kinngait’s Itee Pootoogook. Timed to coincide with the artist’s upcoming solo exhibition at Vancouver’s Contemporary Art Gallery, the show will be Pootoogook’s third show with MSG, and will feature work produced across the last five years. A meticulous chronicler of contemporary Inuit life, Pootoogook’s intensely focused drawings include portraits, landscapes, still lifes and architectural studies. In these works, time seems to be magically suspended or lengthened. The exhibition will also include several single object drawings pertaining to the modern world of consumerism, in which an almost pop-like sensibility emerges.
