Original Clyde Drew Antler Carving
Carved from moose antler by Mi'kmaq artist, Clyde Drew
St. Alban's, Newfoundland and Labrador
11" x 14"
Clyde Drew is a Mi'kmaq artist living in St. Alban’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. The beauty and powerful imagery of his work comes from the songs and stories of his people which he learned from childhood in his home town of Conne River. He began carving in his mid 30s first using wood, chain saw and chisel. Later he switched to moose and caribou antlers and whalebone.
Clyde creates a three dimensional world of spirits and natural forms that have captivated both Canadian and international collectors. His work is exhibited at the Art of Man Gallery in Victoria, British Columbia, which focuses on tribal art. The gallery, located in the historic Empress Hotel, carries one of North America's most extensive displays of Canada's finest native art.
