If Kenojuak Ashevak is La Grande Dame of Inuit printmaking in Kinngait, then Kananginak is most certainly Le Grand Homme.

Like Kenojuak, Kananginak was active in the printmaking programme in Cape Dorset from its earliest inception until his death. Kanaginak's depictions of arctic wildlife are so wonderfully detailed that he was often referred to as "the Audubon of the Arctic". We love how this sensitive depiction of two grazing caribou highlights the artistic prowess of both Kananginak and Qavavau Manumie who was entrusted to carve the print stone with such exceptional detail.
