Description

Ruben Anton Komangapik is one of the Arctic's most gifted sculptors.
His work has been exhibited across Canada with pieces on permanent loan to the Museum of Nature and Culture in Montreal. In Isuma, Ruben's vibrant, provocative sculpture, and his artistic process, are brought to life by photographer Estelle Marcoux Komangapik's arresting images.
Part autobiography, part art object, this book will introduce Canadians to one of the Arctic's most talented artists.
