Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality Sculpture!
Arctic char are a subject that captivate our clients.
There are several marine mammals (seal, walrus, whales, narwhals) that are depicted in stone, but the char is the only Arctic fish I can recall seeing as a subject for carving.
I believe that Derrald's char sculptures are the best!
He constantly raises the bar whether it be the ingenious ways he depicts the watery environment, or his masterful depiction of the fish itself.
Spawn is beguiling in his facial features and realistic style.
A fish with personality?
With Taylor, anything is possible!
The "bottom" of the Arctic Sea could easily stand alone as its own piece.
Enchanting!
Derrald's ability to capture motion in a carving is exceptional.
His talent is the reason he is considered to be among the greats in Inuit carving.
Spawn is a stunning sculpture that is modern in its presentation with a minimalist flare.
Like so many Inuit carvings, Spawn could live within any decorating style.
