About the Item

Monodon Monoceros Nunavut, Canada, 2006 24 in x 36 in (61 x 91.4 cm) Edition of 20 - $3,500 31 in x 46.5 in (78.7 x 118.1 cm) Edition of 15 40 in x 60 in (101.6 x 152.4 cm) Edition of 10 "It took ten years of working with Inuit guides and scouring the frozen coastline from my ultralight plane with the help of a friend and fellow pilot before finding this pod way offshore in the drifting pack ice. In the 1700s, Carl Linnaeus, the father of taxonomy, gave them the name Monodon monoceros, meaning "one-toothed one horn.” However, narwhals have long been part of the knowledge of arctic cultures like the Inuit, serving as the inspiration for myths and stories told around the fire." -Paul Nicklen Paul Nicklen's Biography: Paul Nicklen (Canadian) is a visual artist and marine biologist who has documented both the beauty and the plight of our planet for over 20 years. Paul’s photography informs and connects by creating an emotional bond with wild subjects in extreme conditions. After a 20-year career of photographing for journalistic publications like National Geographic, Paul’s perpetuating dream is to revisit his archives for the true artistic gems and release them to the world. His ongoing journey is to continue photographing intimate, evocative, powerful subject matter to create a thought-provoking body of work. Paul hopes his viewers look into the eyes of the animals in his photographs and fall in love with their vulnerability. In addition to being one of the world’s most renowned nature photographers, Paul is a well-known speaker, TED Talks participant, author, and National Geographic Fellow. In the past two decades, Paul has collaborated with scientists, filmmakers, conservationists, and explorers to create awareness and inspire action for global issues such as climate change. Paul has garnered more than 30 of the highest awards given to any photographer in his field, earning a global following of celebrities, conservationists, and fans.
