CURATOR'S CHOICE Pegasus,, Centaur, Unicorn . . . mythical horse creatures have played important roles throughout human history.
Humans' love for horses is so deep that that horses have become part of our myths and legends.
I have never seen an Inuit half man/half horse carving.
For this reason, CENTAUR is a CURATOR'S CHOICE.
CENTAUR is both imaginative and inspirational.
Centaurs have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse.
They can speak as a human
They can run like a horse.
Kupapik has not copied the Greek Centaur.
The Inuit influence is what makes Centaur a rare piece.
Indeed, this Centaur has a human right front leg and his head is more horse-like and less human.
BUT, this piece exudes the power and strength of a horse AND the intelligence of a man.
Ningeocheak honours both species with this incredibly beautiful carving.
One day, this piece will be held in a position of respect in an Art Gallery for all to appreciate.
For now, are you this Centaur's protector?
