Deep Blue Sea masterfully showcases the vibrant spectrum of colours achievable in lithography. Printed on grey paper that is completely saturated with a rich, variegated sapphire blue, the water appears softly luminous, giving life to its tonal depth. In this expansive, imaginative work, Kenojuak vividly captures the dynamic essence of marine life. The meticulous precision of her drawings is brilliantly translated into print by Niviaksie Quvianaqtuliaq. The extensive detailing in the char, clams, and snail is exquisitely preserved through the lithographic process, highlighting the medium’s capability to maintain intricate visual narratives.
