blog writing #formal analysis of screaming faces art

Manasiah Akpaliapik is one of Canada's most renowned modern Inuit artists. Conceived in the far north and forced into a residential school as a child, he grieved the demise of his wife and two kids in an inferno when he was just 25. I have no data on how these atrocities may have informed the Screaming Faces art, albeit it is clear that he can convey raw pain with immense artistic masterpieces. Akpaliapik was devoted to honing his creative skills and attended Red River College in Winnipeg, MB, prior to indulging in an apprenticeship in Montreal, OC. His early arts were highly comprehensive and descriptive, albeit his technical skills augmented his style changed to include more details of Inuit legends and myths. Akpaliapik represents human attachment to animals, Inuit legends and features of shamanism, as well as modern social issues that threaten Inuit societies. Akpaliapik’s art has appeared in several group and solo exhibitions in public and commercial arts across Canada and overseas.
