Igloo w/Figures by Kavik
 
Seldom seen glazed pottery igloo with applied figures by noted Rankin
Inlet artist John Kavik. The white glaze on the primitive figures makes
for somewhat of a haunting, ghostly visage. This small 3.5" work is
clearly signed in syllabics.
Primitive Inuit ceramics have been under-appreciated until recent years.
Kavik was certainly one of the most respected and his work has been
featured in many exhibitions, including his first solo show in 1986. His
pieces can be found in major collections, such as the Art Gallery of
Ontario, the Vancouver Art Gallery, and the Winnipeg Art Gallery.
Dimensions: 3.5"x3.25"
