Reindeer Man was a series of 8 paintings and 8 etchings based on the life of the interior Alaskan reindeer farmer George Aguiar, of Archipelago Farms. It was an all-consuming project starting in 2020 that culminated in two exhibitions: one at Bear Gallery in Fairbanks, AK in August 2021, and one at the Kenai Art Center in Kenai, AK in September 2021.
I learned so much about this uniquely Northern lifestyle, and yet barely scratched the surface. To see the complete work, in-depth explanations of the depicted scenes, more about ‘Reindeer George’, and more context about the paintings and etchings, please follow the link below.
