Jabbing & Sparring Narwhals Tony AtsanikInuit art: Sparring Narwhals Inuit Artist: Tony Atsanik Size: 7" long, 4" wide, 4" tall Community: Qikiqtarjuaq, NU Material: musk ox horn and black Marble stone id: caps 862000451fejy NOTE** In my 12 years of being an Inuit art Curator, I have never seen a scene like this; two narwhals, circling each other in preparation for battle! Tony Atsanik has crafted his narwhals from pale pink muskox horn. This medium creates an ethereal effect. The mood is

very unique

Size: over 8

The facial expressions are happy and the detail and balance are superb

this is the second largest of the four pieces

This is a beautiful rendition of a Whale

Pillakapsi’s treatment of the effervescent white Ivory is brilliant

and it is the family’s strong artistic tradition that has influenced and inspired him to choose Inuit art as a career
