Museum quality Carving! Magnificent Movement!
WALKABOUT is a majestic Nungusuitok Walking bear whose style of carving is poised between modern and abstract style.
The long extended front legs, the abnormally long neck and the ill defined claws lean toward abstraction.
But, the realistic facial features and the classic angular proportions of the sculpture are solidly based in the modern style.
Quaraq’s bears flaunt their chiseled facial features.
They move quietly and deliberately.
Walkabout's deep green colour of the stone is adorned with fine white veins that resemble the finest lace.
Quaraq has grown his reputation by inventing the "Nungusuitok" bear.
Without a doubt, Walkabout is one of Quaraq's finest Signature carvings.
