Nine Artists Who Shine at the 2025 Outsider Art Fair

Untitled Drawing by Pudlo Pudlat

Andrew Edlin Gallery, D14

In this undated colored pencil drawing by the Inuit sculptor and painter Pudlo Pudlat (1916-1992), a sinuous ship decorated with a broad yellow stripe rides on the crest of a green wave, helmed by what looks like a gray and brown bird with a taciturn black beak. It’s an extraordinary composition: The wave bulges under the prow, as if they’re crossing the page together, while the avian captain looks toward the empty upper corner, serenely confident that his company of elegant pencil lines can fill any amount of unmarked space.
