"Kwagul Orca"

(pen and ink/graphite dotclear.gif - 0.0 K4 x 6)

Original Pen and Ink/Graphite - $475 U.S.

The Kwagul (sometimes known as Kwakiutl) inhabit the mainland coast of British Columbia and the northern tip of Vancouver Island. Their art style is among the more elaborate and complex of the northwest coast cultures. It can be very intricate and delicate at times while still maintaining the monumental appearance of this style of art. They have panache! Killer whales are very prominent in their culture and this depiction is more of a traditional rendition that also features totems of raven on the body, wolf on the dorsal, and salmon/trout on the tail. Graphite was used for the red.
