Qavavau Manumie est né à Brandon, au Manitoba, en 1958, où sa mère, Paunichea, a été hospitalisée pour le traitement de la tuberculose. Il est retourné à Cape Dorset dès son plus jeune âge et y vit depuis. Au fil des ans, Qavavau a fait preuve d'une grande variété d'aptitudes stylistiques, allant du plus littéral au plus expressif. Son travail est idiosyncratique et souvent amusant dans ses représentations des légendes et de la mythologie inuites, de la faune arctique et des aspects contemporains de la vie inuite. Qavavau est fait partie de la deuxième génération d'artistes inuits à avoir été acclamé par la critique d'art contemporain et dont la réputation sur la scène internationale s'établit ces jours-ci comme en témoigne sa participation cette année à la Biennale de Sydney en Australie et au Musée d'art moderne de Varsovie en 2020.

Qavavau Manumie was born in Brandon, Manitoba in 1958, where his mother, Paunichea, was hospitalized for treatment of tuberculosis. He returned to Cape Dorset at a young age and has lived there ever since. Over the years, Qavavau has demonstrated a wide range of stylistic abilities, from the literal to the expressive. His work is idiosyncratic and often amusing in its depictions of Inuit legends and mythology, Arctic wildlife and contemporary aspects of Inuit life. Qavavau is part of the second generation of Inuit artists to receive critical acclaim in the contemporary art world, and his international reputation is being established these days as evidenced by his participation in this year's Sydney Biennale in Australia and at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw in 2020.
