MONOLITHIC STONE stands with his feet firmly planted, like the roots of an ancient tree.
This posture is common with Polar Bears.
They often stand to survey the environment.
Or like Monolithic, they stand tall to make themselves appear larger to their prey and foe.
Monolithic Stone is powerful and proud.
His face is intelligent.
You feel him "thinking".
He is raw and primitive.
This is a beautiful rendition of a Gjoa Haven Bear sculpture.
Louie understands and loves the essence of the Polar bear.
This connection to the animal comes from years of studying and observing the creature in order to faithfully reproduce its nature and spirit.
Uttaq is one of Gjoa Haven's most talented and imaginative artists.
This would be a timeless piece of Gjoa Haven art history for your collection.
