Welcome to North Star Inuit Gallery!
As Northerners living
in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, we maintain a deep respect and
appreciation for the Inuit and their unique artwork. Living in relatively close
proximity, we travel to various remote Northern Inuit communities to purchase
the finest works directly from Inuit artists and local cooperatives. We have
spent time with most of the Inuit artists featured in North Star Inuit Gallery
and have watched the completion of many carvings. With this intimate connection,
we are thrilled to discover the meaning and inspiration behind the Inuit carvings
and share this knowledge with our clients.
What is it about
Inuit art that continues to fascinate and command international attention? Is
it a primal awareness that occurs when a certain carving catches your eye? Or
is it a primordial connection that awakens the senses as your hand smoothes
the surface of the ancient stone? Whatever the sensation, for some reason, we
instinctively feel a connection and are drawn to particular Inuit carvings.
Whether you are a
serious Inuit art collector or purchasing your first Inuit carving, we are confident
you will be impressed with our hand-picked selection of exquisite Inuit carvings
and original drawings. Should you have a special interest in carvings by a certain
Inuit artist, community or particular subject matter, please let us know. We
will do our best to contact the Inuit artist directly and match your preference
with the perfect Inuit carving or we can commission an Inuit carver to design
a piece just for you!
