Akesuk Tudlik, commonly known simply as Tudlik (1890–1966),[1] was an Inuit printmaker and carver from Cape Dorset, Canada.[2] He is best known for his stylized carvings of animals, particularly birds with round eyes.[1]
Tudlik and his family moved to the Kinngait area in 1951, and he began selling his carvings to James Houston.[1] He began printmaking around the same time, and was involved in the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative.[3][4][5] His work often depicted bears and owls, as well as hunters pursuing prey.[4][6]
