During his lifetime, Arnaqu Ashevak, son of the legendary Kenojuak Ashevak, carried his family’s artistic legacy into new realms with his stunning works in graphics and sculpture. In this coloured pencil and ink work, the soft, muted greys and blues in the fish’s body delicately contrast against the subtle orange accents along the fins, imbuing the work with a refined vibrancy. Every scale and fin is rendered with exquisite precision, drawing the viewer in to closely examine the intricate details of the image. The composition, with its elongated, sleek form and graceful lines, evokes a sense of motion that breathes life into the image. The meticulous layering of pencil crayon reveals Arnaqu’s mastery, balancing realism with artistic expression to create a work that is both visually captivating and technically accomplished.
