Kellypalik Qimirpik was born in 1948. His sculpture has been included in many exhibitions in Canada, the USA,
Germany, France, and is included in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada as well as
other significant corporate and private collections. Kelly is a true artist; innovative and
dedicated to the art form. He is fascinated by the spirit world and his works depict aspects of the
human / spirit relationship. Works by this dedicated artist deal with the transformation; he
creates wonderful multi image composition pieces. Not limited by the shape of the stone, fantasy
figures seem to float and balance. Kellypalik has travelled to Hamilton, and to Connecticut, where he
was delighted to meet his many collectors. In Cape Dorset, they say that he above all artists has an ability to depict the human face, and express many emotions -he is a master sculptor, and a favourite of the gallery clientele.
