I find these very inspiring images for future project potential. The colors! The balance! The patterns! The symmetry! Love it.

KENOJUAK ASHEVAK

We’re loving the honest simplicity of these pieces by Inuit folk artist Kenojuak Ashevak. Seemingly borrowed from another time, her confident use of color and composition is really refreshing. These pieces are from her Birds series, courtesy of 50watts.

Ashevak passed this January at the age of 85. For more information about her read on:
