Kananginak Pootoogook, renowned for his devotion to realism, offers two birds rendered with such care that their feathers read like topography, each line and mark charting the rise and fall of their downy terrain. The larger owl stands sentinel, eyes wide, body elongated like a cathedral window, while the smaller one nestles at its base, slightly turned, as if halfway between comfort and suspicion. Every texture has been preserved through the steady hand of master lithographer Pitseolak Niviaqsi, who translates Kananginak’s drawing into something both exacting and alive.
