Seal Hunter Searching View more work by Joe Kunnuk
Kunnuk is notable for his ability to portray the day-to-day events in an artistic composition. Here is the hunter come out for the subsistence hunt to seek his prey as the seal swims below looking up with apprehension. At the back of the base is Kunnk's trademark human face, a representative of the great spirit that runs through man and animal alike.
