Rocky Grassy Mountain in June: Drawings by Tony Anguhalluq
Marion Scott Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of recent works on paper by Baker Lake’s Tony Anguhalluq. Rocky Grassy Mountain in June: Drawings by Tony Anguhalluq is the artist’s first exhibition at the gallery in seven years. The show comprises 20 works on paper in a variety of media, formats and scales. The majority of Anguhalluq’s colourful images represent the abstract forms and silhouetted contours of the Arctic landscape, both peopled and unpeopled. Eschewing such conventions as uniform perspective and imitative shading to suggest the illusion of depth, Anguhalluq’s energetic drawings bristle with movement and experimental techniques. Included in the spring presentation is a major 20-foot mural-like drawing in oil stick, one of the largest works on paper ever produced by an Inuit artist.
