"A Whales Tale" Pacific Pod and the Rogue Wave
Medium is Coquihalla Jade (Serpentine) Item #188 Dimensions 22 x 13 x 6 inches, 52.2 pounds Suggested Retail Price $6500.00 Sold The original stone was quarried, transported, carefully examined and then engaged as diamond tools slowly removed the unwanted stock to reveal a Pod of Whales. The creative talent of the sculptor has evolved allowing the emergence of the most exquisite carving to date. This sculpture demonstrates the talent and patience of its creator with the fluid lines, seemingly molten or watery surface of whales as they glide through and along the ocean waves. The negative space around and under the whales tail is demonstrative of the talent and creativity for this artist. This piece calls out to be enjoyed and viewed from various lines of sight and at eye level is absolutely breathtaking. A large whale dominates the piece while a small whale surfs along in the protective company of the Pod, a familiar sight as the magnificent creatures hunt for food while dominating and exploring their environment. This is the most complex and detailed of Paul's signature pieces and it reflects his integrity in producing the highest quality sculptures, those that need to be displayed and enjoyed by true art collectors. |
