About the Artist
A native Nunavik artist, Napartuk learned how to carve from his father, Josie, who was one of the community’s earliest sculptors. He began making prints after Noah Meeko, his brother-in-law, and Noah’s wife, Lucy Meeko, returned from a seven week workshop held in Puvirnituq in 1972.
Throughout the late 1970s and early 80s, Napartuk participated in several national snow sculpting competitions held in Quebec. In 1982, Napartuk travelled to Cortina d’Amezzo, Italy to participate in an international snow sculpting competition. His works have been featured in numerous exhibitions at the international level and are held in notable collections such as that of the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the Glenbow Museum, and the Royal Ontario Museum.
