Ken Kirkby is a Canadian original. As passionate about life as he is about art, his is an amazing story about a man whose creative should was shaped by the Arctic barrens and who spent much of his life capturing that fierce beauty on canvas.

Ken Kirkby was transformed as an artist when he lived off the land with the Inuit for four years. Goody Niosi's KEN KIRKBY, A PAINTER'S QUEST FOR CANADA, traces Kirkby's evolution and his successful, ten-year-long completion of his masterwork Isumataq, unveiled as a 25-foot model in Parliament in 1992. The original is 152' long and 12' high. Isumataq is an Inuit word meaning, "An object in the presence of which wisdom might show itself,"; and refers to the man-like monuments of stone called Inuksuit that Inuit have erected as guides and markers of good hunting and fishing.
