Cape Dorset, Shaman Drummer Releasing a Spirit, 2007, dark green stone and antler, 10 x 4.25 x 3.25 in,25.2 x 11.2 x 8.3 cm.Provenance: Lorne Balshine Collection, Vancouver. ... Born into a family of artists, Isaci Etidloi began carving at the tender age of seven. Although his style was decidedly modern he preferred mostly traditional themes. Two exceptions to this (part of a series of sports figures he carved for a Vancouver exhibition) are shown below (Lots 331-332). This shaman drumming is reminiscent of Isaci Etidloi’s Singing Shaman of 2003 in the National Gallery collection (see Christine Lalonde, Inuit Sculpture Now, NGC, 2005, p. 17). --- CATEGORIES: Inuit, Eskimo
