    This Standing Man by Iksiktaaryuk makes an interesting contrast with his Gesturing Figure (Lot 109). The two works show the astonishing range of feelings that the artist was able to express given the apparently restrictive antler medium at his disposal. While Gesturing Figure is expansive in gesture, carefree in attitude, and engaged with the viewer, Standing Man is a solitary motionless figure, self-contained, contemplative, and perhaps even melancholy in aspect. The figure has a tentative quality as well; perhaps the man is elderly.


    Literature: For a similar standing figure with a very similar treatment of both the arms and legs see the Art Gallery of Ontario exhibition catalogue, The People Within (Toronto, 1976), cat. 87. See the section on the artist in Norman Zepp, Pure Vision: The Keewatin Spirit (Regina: Norman Mackenzie Art Gallery, 1986), pp. 130-139.
