This standout example by contemporary Inuit artist, Tim Pistiulak was featured in the Art Canada Institute story, "Bright Northern Lights: Ten Artists from Nunavut," from July 9, 2021:

"In this large-scale coloured-pencil drawing, Kimmirut-born artist and hunter Tim Pitsiulak (1967–2016) depicts a whale tail strapped to the back of an ATV at night. His masterful compositions, often consisting of vividly rendered central figures or objects against a dark background, were inspired by Inuit mythology, traditional life on the land, and his own experiences of living in Kinngait. The nephew of the renowned artist Kenojuak Ashevak, Pitsiulak achieved notable artistic success during his lifetime and his works were highly sought after by southern collectors. He commented, 'The best thing about being an artist and a hunter [is that] people [in the south] like it. What more can I ask for than that people are noticing what we have up here?'"
