Nicotye Samayualie (born 1983) is a Canadian Inuk artist from Cape Dorset, Northwest Territories, specializing in drawings of still lifes and landscapes.[1] She often uses large-format drawings to create expansive images of Cape Dorset landscapes. She is the cousin of Annie Pootoogook (1969-2016).[1] Her grandmother, Keeleemeeoomee Samayualie (1919-1983), was also a graphic artist.[2]
Artistic career
Samayualie began developing her artistic practice in her early 20s.[3] She is particularly interested in Cape Dorset landscapes and in mundane day-to-day objects such as buttons, pantry shelves, and camping equipement.[4] Her work has been displayed at commercial galleries across Canada, including the Spirit Wrestler Gallery (Vancouver, BC), Gallery Gevik (Toronto, ON), Gallery Indigena (Toronto, ON), and the Marion Scott Gallery (Vancouver, BC). Her work has been displayed by public galleries including the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto, ON) and the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa, ON).[1] Her first group show was "A New Perspective" at Feheley Fine Arts in Toronto, Ontario in 2011, and she had her first solo exhibition, "Nicotye Samayualie," in February 2015, also at Feheley Fine Arts.[1]
In 2014, she was an invited artist at the Great Northern Arts Festival in Inuvik.[1] In 2016, she was selected for a residency at the Banff Arts Centre as part of the TD Bank’s Cape Dorset North-South artist exchange program.[5]
