Vintage Mona Ohoveluk Inuit Art Stencil on Burlap, 1970s 15x12"
$110
An exceptional, ready-to-display piece of Canadian Arctic history: an
original vintage 1970s graphic stencil on textured burlap by the
prominent Inuit artist Mona Ohoveluk (1935–1992) of the Ulukhaktok
(Holman) Co-operative.
This piece comes professionally housed in its classic original black
frame under glass, making it an immediate, high-impact addition to your
collection. The stark black stencil work beautifully captures a
traditional Arctic hunting narrative featuring a hunter, a sled dog, and
a muskox. Ohoveluk’s distinct narrative style pairs perfectly with the
raw, heavy weave of the burlap background, embodying a rugged,
mid-century brutalist aesthetic.
A fantastic cross-market find for collectors of fine Inuit graphics,
indigenous textiles, or designers looking for unique, organic textures
to ground a retro or modern space.
