An adaptable animal, frogs are seen as living in two worlds, both the water and the land, and can communicate between the two as vocal beings. They are also considered a supernatural creature, one that can inhabit the human and spirit worlds. Their presence (often a loud one) is thought to announce the arrival of spring, as they can be heard and seen as the waters and forests sufficiently thaw out after a long winter. Here, we see the frog with a hint to his many voices as faces emerge from the frog’s busy, his front legs dipping into the waterline that separates his two homes.


Born in 1951, Richard Hunt comes from an active artistic family, which includes his brother Tony Hunt Sr. (see this sale, lot 12, Untitled (Bird), Richard became the first Indigenous artist to receive the Order of British Columbia in 1991, and received the Order of Canada in 1994.
