1980 The Klamer Family Collection of Inuit Art from the Art Gallery of Ontario

I expect that a Paul Malliki sculpture will impress me (they always do) BUT I was not prepared for my reaction to this creature

They are spectacular but unaffordable to most collectors

8" Walking Bear by Ulami Tunillie *Camo* paintings 1980 The Klamer Family CollectionInuit art: Walking Bear Artist: Ulami Tunillie Size: 8" long, 3" high, 3" wide Community: Cape Dorset, NU 2 22 Stone: Serpentine id: jl 14722dhjy Tunillie's carving style leans to the abstract with this simple Walking bear. The abstract style allows the artist to "suggest" rather than depict the features of the carving. The viewer has the opportunity to interpret the piece whereas the realistic style of carving presents the exact and real features.
