Inuit Art
Sculptures.com
is an exclusively online retail Inuit art gallery dedicated
to bringing all Inuit art
lovers a wide variety of Inuit / Eskimo art sculptures that have
been hand sculpted by Inuit artists. We
have no storefront and are thus able to offer this beautiful art
from 15 to 50% off gallery prices.
Most of our sculptures
come from Cape Dorset, which is located on Baffin Island in Canada's
high
arctic. We occasionally have carvings from Iqaluit, Pangnirtung,
Sanikiluak and Pond Inlet.
All of the sculptures
on our site are hand carved by Inuk artists out of serpentine
(a stone which is harder than soapstone) found on the southern
part of Baffin Island. We occasionally have pieces carved out
of
marble, argillite, steatite or caribou antler.
Our online selection is unique because it includes pieces by well
known Inuit carvers such as Nuna Parr,
as well as young, up and coming Inuit artists.
Our gallery
presently has dancing bears, walking bears, walruses, whales,
fish, seals, narwhales, birds, loons, owls, ducks, eagles, transformations,
wall hangings,
inukshuk, spirits, sednas, people (hunters, women, drum dancers)
as well as other arctic animals such as caribou, wolf, bisons,
penguins and
muskox. We also have mother and child, and etching sculptures.
