Masterpiece Sculpture! Magnificent Vintage Carving!
Barnabus Arnasungaaq was one of the earliest participants in the Baker Lake carving program which was established by the Canadian government in the 1960's.
Barnabus created a number of prints and drawings but he is first and foremost recognized as a leading figure in contemporary Inuit sculpture.
He is a pioneer in the 1st generation of Inuit carvers and also one of the most highly decorated artists.
Cozy Warm is simple; beautifully rounded angles and rich deep black colour.
Of course, the Mother and Child theme has been cherished throughout the ages so don't be surprised if you are immediately bonded to this sweet carving.
