WILL is communicating with his Spirit Guide.
His head is extended way back, his eyes are searching the sky.
Even Shamans seek a purpose for their lives.
Carving in the Grotesque style, Uriash's Shamans are his SIGNATURE pieces.
Uriashes works are Internationally recognized as a staple of Canadian Inuit art.
All of his pieces are Masterpieces.
Will has all the requisite features of the Grotesque style; the stumpy teeth, large inset eyes, horsehair hair, exaggerated body parts.
In the Decorative Arts, Grotesque style refers to the fanciful murals or sculptures found in the 1500s in the Italian grottos (grotteschi) in Rome.
The Gjoa Haven carvers love their sculptures to have a sense of humour.
Uriash’s carving is fiery and highly spirited.
Will is an outstanding large Uriash piece that will likely be the centerpiece of your collection.
