Dancing Bear (ca.1999) by Nalenik Temela (1939-2003); Kimmirut, Nunavut, Canada
A classic tour-de force in a style made famous by this singular artist. Nalenik Temela was a featured artist in dozens of international exhibitions over many decades. A Dancing Bear of Mr. Temela's very much like this was on the cover of the catalogue for Masters of the Arctic: An Exhibition of Contemporary Inuit Masterworks (Presented by the Amway Corporation at the United Nations General Assembly). Out of respect, no other artist has ever imitated this very sought-after style, and we're proud to offer this excellent example to our collectors. Call or email for more information anytime.
