Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality Sculpture!
There are very few artists who carve “relief” patterns into their sculptures like Esau Kripanik.
In Esau’s case, he carves spectacular wolves, caribous, seals, and polar bears (to name a few) on the surface of his main carving.
With MOUNTAINEER he has effectively given us at least nine more carvings.
Each relief pattern is its own glorious piece of art.
Each one is perfect in its detail and execution.
MOUNTAINEER is a stunning large Inukshuk.
Like a Mountain, he is mighty and stoic.
Esau carves with a stone that has a matte finish.
This finish allows the shadows of the appliques to emphasize the edges and create a 3D effect.
Inukshuks are among the oldest and most important objects in the vast Arctic made by humans.
