Note:
Judas Ullulaq's figures radiate large personalities. The emotional disposition of his characters, be they human, animal, or spirit, are sometimes ambiguous, but are never restrained in the intensity of their expression. Often they are pervaded throughout by a sense of narrative humour, from an artist well known for his joyous and energetic disposition.
Uniquely mobile in its potential orientation, Rearing Bear with Catch embodies the energy in Ullulaq's subjects. The work is shown here positioned in both of the configurations which the artist intended that it could sit, clambering about on all fours, or reared up on two legs.
