15" Arctic Char Fish by Ning Ashoona paintings

15" Arctic Char Fish by Ning Ashoona paintingsInuit Art: Arctic Char Fish Artist: Ning Ashoona Dimensions: 15" (Across nose to tail), (12" horizontal) 9" high, 5" wide Community: Cape Dorset, NU Stone: Serpentine id: b 27105aabey This is an Arctic Char fish. The gorgeous black green stone set against the very dynamic movement are formidable combinations that make this an exceptional piece. Even though I have seen several char fish over the years, Ning somehow manages to make this particular one

Winnipeg Canada Major/Minor

Among their many practical functions

His long gangly arms are thrown up to the sky in a hallelujah salute

I love the brilliant almost neon yellow green stone of the fish and the rock

The inlaid eyes are wide and piercing

The orange inset eyes contrast so beautifully against the green that the bird appears to be alive and charged with spirit
