This Labrador artist creates breathtakingly realistic paintings inspired by his hometown – CBC

Meet Inuit artist Bronson Jacque in our fifth episode of Drawn to It

Jul 26, 2020

Bronson Jacque’s hometown of Postville, Labrador, is a constant source of inspiration for the young artist.

“Something that I love to do with my art is showing people a part of where I come from, because there’s so much up there that a lot of people never get to see,” said Jacque.

Jacque mainly focuses on oil paintings but he also creates drawings, carvings, and sculpture.

“I got into art at a young age. Probably around 10 years old I really started drawing and that was mostly because a lot of family make art,” he said.

“My pop carves, my uncle carves and draws, my nans — they make clothing, and so I was always encouraged to create stuff for myself.”
