Author Description

<p>Bringing together work produced across the last decade, <i>Rocky Grassy Mountain in June</i> presents the unique drawing style of the Inuit artist Tony Anguhalluq.<br> <br> Raised in the Nunavut community of Baker Lake by the prominent artists Luke Anguhadluq and his wife Marion Tuu'luq, Anguhalluq has developed a distinctive artistic expression, choosing to reduce the forms of the landscape to near abstraction, frequently employing aerial and side views in the same image. Because Anguhalluq combines a non-representational technique (his landscapes are often conceived as interlocking patterns of heavily outlined, solidly coloured silhouettes) with the use of horizon lines as a compositional convention, many of his images feature an expressive tension between the flat picture and an illusive pictorial depth.<br> <br> Anguhalluq's exuberant work is explored in the book through an essay by Robert Kardosh, Director/Curator of Marion Scott Gallery and Kardosh Projects.<br> <br> Published in partnership with Marion Scott Gallery/Kardosh Projects.</p>
