Hunting Bear by Simon Qammaniq

Inuit art: Hunting Bear       
Inuit Artist: Simon Qammaniq
Size: 16­­­­" long, 6.5" high, 6" wide
Community: Igloolik
Stone:

This is an absolutely gorgeous bear  from a very remote Inuit community called Igloolik. It is a community which is quite isolated from the other northern communities. Artists here have a unique style. They focus on creating sculptures to look as real as possible. The stone is rarely polished and they prefer a dry flat finish.

Simon Qammaniq makes beautiful carvings set in their natural environments. This bear is extremely beautiful.  The electrifying white stone makes a stunning impression. The proportions are absolutely perfect. I noticed this carving right away when I saw it.
