When it comes to Polar Bears, Isacie Petaulassie's are hard to beat.  The movement and subtle curves his bears possess are second to none.  The way the artist has positioned the Polar Bear's head makes you believe the bear is actually walking.  Most artists leave Walking Polar Bear sculptures with their heads up but this is misleading.  People who have followed Polar Bears their whole life know that when a Polar Bear travels it does so with its nose down picking up the scent of its next meal.   This subtle difference mixed with quality craftsmenship make this a very special piece indeed.  Isacie Petaulassie hails from the Inuit art hotbed of Cape Dorset, Nunavut which is world renowned for it's Inuit carving and prints.
