Note:

Bill Nasogaluak has developed a highly distinctive canon of images encompassing subjects as diverse as shamanism and Inuit mythology, Western Renaissance traditions, climate change, depression, and the impacts of industry in the North.

A self-taught artist with a passion for both Inuit and Western art history, Nasogaluak is an accomplished painter, sculptor, and instructor whose artworks have been garnering notable curatorial attention in recent years. [1, 2]

Here the artist tackles a traditional subject, giving us this inquisitive polar bear.
