Walrus View more work by Arthur Gologergen
Gologergen is exceptionally skilled in carving uniquely stylized works that express a softer, more amiable nature of the walrus. In this work, he finds middle ground between accurate anatomy, seen in the rounded folds of skin and twist of the head, and personalized emotion in the warm, grinning countenance of the animal.
