Intrepid Caribou is a testament to the kind of visual clarity that emerges when draughtsman and printer are in perfect lock step. Kanaginak Pootoogook’s central caribou is composed with striking balance: symmetrical, vertical, and bold, yet grounded in naturalistic detail. The animal’s proportions feel observed rather than invented, with a sensitivity to musculature and stance that suggests deep familiarity. Arnaqu Ashevak’s printing brings this drawing to life with precision and control: solid black is never flat, but nuanced, especially in the shadows, where fine stippling softens contours and adds texture. Together, they create a work that feels both meticulous and alive.
