- Notice biographique
- Inuit artist Kingmeata Etidlooie (Kingmeata/ Etidlui/ Etidloie/ Kingmeeatta/ Kingmeattar) was born and raised at Itinik Camp near Lake Harbour, Nunavut. She married graphic artist Etidlooie Etidlooie (1910-1981). Several of their children became artists, including Etulu Etidlui, Omalluq Oshutsiaq, Pukaluk Etungat and Kellypalik Etidlooie. Like many Inuit, Etidlooie was encouraged to develop her artistic abilities in the 1950s, when she began carving and drawing. After settling in Cape Dorset in the mid-1960s, Etidlooie and her husband joined the internationally-renowned printmaking studio called the West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative. A number of her prints were published in the annual print catalogues from 1970 through 1988. In the 1970's, color field painter K.M. Graham visited Cape Dorset, and remarking the expressive qualities of Etidlooie's prints gave her a set of acrylics. She then began experimenting with watercolors and acrylics, becoming one of the first Inuit artists to explore painterly media. Etidlooie's work has travelled across Canada and the United States, and has been featured in major exhibitions in Japan, Switzerland, Israel, France, and Belgium. Her prints, drawings and paintings reside in numerous collections, including the Canadian Museum of History in Hull, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Edmonton Art Gallery, the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the National Gallery of Canada, among many others.
