About the Item
A fine mid 20th C. Inuit sculpture from a remote Arctic village. A very lively expressive carving of two faces in basalt stone. Signed in Inuktitut syllabics; we have not determined this artist, but take full responsibility of the authenticity of this piece.
Created in the style of Marc Alikaswa (1928 – 2008), who was known for his distinctive depictions of human figures in grey or black stone.
Elemental and often even stark in mood, this work reflects a deep connection, both materially and thematically, to the land from which the Native People emanate. The earthy feel of Inuit art is not only historic, but grounds Modern as well as historic art collections. This piece in particular, drew our eye because of of its Surrealist tone.
