Fortællingen om Kênake den ubeskuelige: Den usynlige Kênake driver gæk med hvalfangerne, sin faders drabsmænd 1859 - 1860

Aron fra Kangeq's "Fortællingen om Kênake den ubeskuelige: Den usynlige Kênake driver gæk med hvalfangerne, sin faders drabsmænd" (1859-1860) depicts a dramatic scene from Greenlandic folklore. The woodcut, characterized by its stark lines and simple forms, illustrates a group of whalers confronted by the vengeful spirit of Kênake. His ghostly presence, unseen by the whalers, underscores the supernatural element of the narrative, highlighting the Inuit belief in spirits and their influence on the human world. This work, held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Aron fra Kangeq's contribution to Greenlandic art, demonstrating his ability to translate indigenous narratives into powerful visual forms.
