Provenance:
Private Collection, Toronto, ON
Note:
Inspired by John Pangnark and Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok after his move to Arviat in 1975, George Arluk developed a highly original and distinctive style in the 1970s characterized, as here, by a dynamic sense of movement, and abstract forms evocative of dance-like rhythms.
