Product DescriptionSince 1959, The West Baffin Eskimo Co –Op has had a leading role in the development and success of Cape Dorset’s sculptors. Cape Dorset carvings are recognized for their highly naturalistic forms and dramatic compositions carved from the famous ‘green stone’. Ranging in colour from light yellow green to black, the local serpentine stone used for carving has qualities that allow the artist to carve fluid outlines, daring and delicate lines and smooth, elegant finishes. But more than the materials, it is the rich wealth of talent and imagination that has earned Cape Dorset a reputation as a vibrant centre of not only the graphic arts but of sculpture as well.Renowned artists such as Oshweetok, Latchaolassie, Kaka and Kiawak have carvings in major art galleries and museums around the world. Today their sons and daughters and grandchildren continue the tradition, working in the carving sheds that are their winter studios or out of doors when the first warm days arrive. Dorset Fine Arts remains committed to furthering this unique and remarkable art form by actively supporting and promoting the numerous mature and upcoming sculptors of Cape Dorset.
