Jutai Toonoo

/

Kinngait (Cape Dorset) - 1959

Jutai Toonoo is one of the most original voices in contemporary Inuit art. Inspired early on by his father, a hunter and sculptor, Toonoo developed a bold, unconventional style that pushed beyond traditional Inuit sculpture.

Known for expressive stone carvings and striking works on paper, he was also among the first artists in Kinngait to experiment with oil sticks. His powerful and deeply personal work gained international recognition, including inclusion in Sakahan at the National Gallery of Canada in 2013.

Today, Toonoo’s work is held in major collections including the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Smithsonian.
