OUR COLLECTION

We are proud to offer the most extensive and curated collection of Inuit sculptures in Canada, providing collectors and connoisseurs an unparalleled opportunity to experience this powerful art form in its purest and most authentic form.

 

By working directly with Inuit artists and their communities, we ensure that each piece we present is a genuine representation of their craftsmanship and vision. Every sculpture on display is imbued with meaning, emotion, and the timeless stories that connect the artist with their environment.

​

 

The Inuit have called the Canadian Arctic home for over 4,000 years, and their artistic traditions are deeply rooted in their connection to the land. Inuit art began to flourish in the 1950s, as artists transitioned from a nomadic lifestyle to permanent communities. Using local materials like serpentine, whalebone, and ivory, carvers created sculptures that reflect their spiritual and cultural heritage, with animals – particularly bears and birds – at the heart of their art.

​

At Galerie Le Chariot, we honor these traditions and the artists who carry them forward. Our commitment goes beyond exhibiting their work; we serve as a bridge between Inuit art and the world, preserving and sharing their rich heritage with a global audience. Through our gallery, we ensure that the artistry and spirit of the Canadian Arctic continue to inspire for generations to come.
