Walruses


Indeed this walrus is having fun on this 1980 black lithograph from
Cape Dorset artist Oopik Pitsiulak. This mixed creature has bird and walrus features
as wel as human features. Oopik titled this print : "Walrus having fun",
The print measures 23 x 32 cm, paper sizes are 28,5 x 38,5 cm.
Print edition 17 / 50, and in excellent condition. [€ 150.-]
Oopik Pitsiulak is also known as Soroseelutu.

The second walrus print looks like a flying walrus.
Notice on the left side of the walrus'body the human like face.
I fid it a very spiritual looking print.
The lithograph in balck and grey colors mesaures 44,5 x 58,5 cm.
The print itself is 26 x 42 cm; edition 08/50, nicely prized [€ 225.-].
Aoudla Pudlat has this print titled "The walrus takes flight".
