About this artwork
Portrait of Eva Kasudluak from the village of Inukjuak, Nunavik. Mance Lanctôt met Eva during an artist residency. While posing for a portrait, Eva donned of herself a traditional costume sewn with symbols of men's knives (long) and a women's knife (triangular). She stood proud and dignified, in the sun and the strong wind. Aluminum foil applied on mordant was added and black pigments evoking the moss on the micasse rocks.

« I have chosen to represent the irreducible and moving humanity while questioning the line between cultural appropriation and miscegenation. »
Mance Lanctôt is an experienced artist based in Canada whose paintings have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions nationally. She is fascinated by people, the unseen, the forgotten, those who will never have their portrait done. In addition, Lanctôt has great admiration for native flowers and indigenous peoples. Her distinctive figurative works are most often created with acrylics, oils, and graphite on cotton or linen canvases.
