CO-EXISTENCE AND DYSTOPIA -ARTWORKS OF SHUVINAI ASHOONAH O W A N A R T I S T B E A U T F I L Y M A S K S D Y S T O P I AW I T H C O L O U R F U L C R A Y O N SBy Tara HejaziShuvinai Ashoona, Compositions (Titanic Plus Nascopie &Noah's Ark), 2008. Courtesy of Dorset Fine ArtsUsually when I go into a gallery, I expect to see paintings, sculptures,installations, and the occasional sketches. What I don’t expect to see isdrawings done by pencil crayon. Whenever you think of pencil crayon, youprobably think of elementary school or just being a kid. In a sense, havingdrawings done by pencil crayon can seem immature and/or unprofessionalto have in an art gallery. This is not the case with artist, Shuvinai Ashoona.Ashoona is a graphic artist based in Kinngait, Nunavut. Being based inKinngait, Ashoona is part of Canada’s Inuit culture. Ashoona aims tocontinue an artistic tradition that was started by her grandmother andcousin. She is known for her imaginative iconography that can be seen inthe scenes that she creates which can include both nature and wondrousvisions.Shuvinai Ashoona's Beyond the Visible collection features twenty-fivedrawings done by Ashoona over the past two years of her career. Eachdrawing features two main materials, ink and pencil crayons. Her drawingsinclude extraordinary creatures and landscapes that represent acombination of the past and the present. These scenes are, of course,inspired by her community and home.12
