As an avid hunter able to live off the land, Ohito is able to capture the movement and the vitality of the polar bear as he sees them first hand. His bears appear very realistic with their well-proportioned bodies set in action, crisp outlines and just the right amount of detailing.There is no doubt this polar bear is the master of the Arctic tundra. Proud, majestic, and alert. Superior proportions and movement, as well as exquisitely portrayed features, are yet another example of Ohito's extraordinary talent. The stone is brilliantly polished dark green serpentine. The artist has also successfully embedded in stone the growling of a self-assured polar bear approaching its pals. Great proportions and movement, with minutely carved inlayed teeth rarely seen in works of other contemporary Inuit artists. No wonder Ohito's bears are favourite with Inuit art collectors. |
