Despite an apparent economy of effort, here Pangnark masterfully presents the human figure in a seated or crouching position. At first glance one sees just a stone shard, but soon details begin to emerge: the peak of the parka hood, the pronounced knees, the division between head and chest, and of course, the “trademark” Pangnark facial features.Provenance
