Winnipeg, Manitoba.- The Winnipeg Art gallery is proud to present “New Art from Cape Dorset”, on view until April 8th 2012. This exhibition features drawings and sculptures created by second- and third-generation Cape Dorset artists in recent years. Eleven original drawings are by Ningeokuluk Teevee (b. 1963) and Tim Pitsiulak (b. 1967), two young artists who are causing much excitement among collectors. Since 2004, Teevee has been creating drawings that explore the relationship between abstraction and representation, particularly the interplay of patterns found in nature. Pitsiulak came to public notice in 2005 with a lithograph, “Caribou Migration”, that was included in the Cape Dorset annual print collection. His drawings are realistic depictions of modern subjects that are often angled or run off the edge of the page. Both artists have recently been creating large-scale drawings, such as Teevee’s Sea Goddess which is five feet wide.
