Provenance:

Private Collection, Toronto, ON

Note:

Here Barnabus Arnasungaaq has lent remarkable clarity and solidity of form to an otherworldly vision. Spare and essential, the mood of the musk ox is indicated only by a wry facial expression, the mood of the humanoid face on its back by a downturned frowning mouth.
