Museum quality sculpture!
This is a monumental sculpture by world class carver Jaco Ishulutak. For ten years I have been the director of Inuitsculptures.com and I have never seen Jaco carve with such passion and creativity. This is one of his finest pieces. It demonstrates the extraordinary carving bravado of this 72 year old artist. Jaco’s work is exceptional in its degree of openwork carving and detail. His style is highly energetic and expressive.
Jaco produces gorgeous pieces of art time and time again. My heart skips a beat every time I see one of his sculptures. Within .2 seconds I knew this carving was coming with me. The question I ask myself now is should I keep this piece for my own collection?
The lines and curves of this Inuit are absolutely perfect.
Jaco’s Eskimo Fisherman is a fantastic find. It is a centrepiece for our gallery. It will be the showcase piece of your collection.
