Title: "Ghost of the North" by Chris Tutty
Description:
Ghost of the North is a compelling 40" x 40" painting by Chris Tutty that pays homage to Quigley, the wolf who portrayed Ghost in Game of Thrones. Quigley, a wolf from Alberta, was featured in scenes filmed at the Calgary Film Centre, a state-of-the-art facility that opened in 2018. This collaboration highlights the seamless integration of local talent and resources in bringing the series to life.
In the painting, Quigley is depicted in his majestic form, set against a backdrop of the mesmerizing northern lights—a natural spectacle visible in Alberta's night skies. Off to the left, Quigley is shown howling at the lights, embodying the spirit of the wild. The foreground features a frozen lake reminiscent of Alberta's northern landscapes, with elk or reindeer traversing the ice, their large antlers emphasizing the majesty of the scene. Tall spruce trees line the horizon, adding depth and tranquility to the composition.
Through a masterful combination of airbrush techniques, oil paint, and a stunning interplay of light and shadow, Chris Tutty captures not just the physical presence of Quigley, but the deep connection between the wolf and the land. Ghost of the North is a tribute to the spirit of the wild, the majesty of nature, and the deep ties that connect a creature like Quigley to the natural world of Alberta. This powerful artwork speaks to the timelessness of the wilderness and the mystical bond between life and land.
