Item Special Note
Enookie Akulukjuk (1943-2006) was born in Illunganjuit (Bon Accord), a small community that no longer exists on Baffin Island. The son of Malaya Akulukjuk, one of Pangnirtung's most famous artists, Enookie was among the first printmakers to take up the art after it was introduced in Pangnirtung in the early 1970s. Over the years he also produced many beautiful etchings, mastering a technique that utilizes copper and zinc plates. Ultimately, Enookie became a specialist in stencil printing, or pochoir.
As with most of the Pangnirtung printmakers, many of Enookie's prints are interpretations of original drawings produced by community artists, including those of his common-law wife and founding chairperson of the Uqqurmiut Inuit Artists Association, Rose Okpik. He also regularly created his own original imagery, capturing the playful movements of wildlife with his use of a repetitive patterning technique.
