Provenance:

Upstairs Gallery, Winnipeg

Note:

Weighty but compact, and simple in design, here sculptor Mark Tungilik has turned his restrained style and eye for the elemental in his subject to the image of a squat ptarmigan, quirky in its delightfully off-kilter symmetry. A charming counterpart to the Tungilik muskox, lot 122 of The Canada Auction.

CONDITION DETAILS
