The work, which now sits on the second floor in front of the National Arts Centre, was completed in 1985 by Dempsey Bob, a Northwest Coast woodcarver and sculptor from British Columbia, Canada.
He is a famous wood carver and sculptor from Canada. Most of his works are based on the traditional stories of aboriginal people and are collected by many important museums and art galleries, such as the Canadian Museum of History, the Royal British Columbian Museum, and even at Vancouver International Airport, people can see his excellent wood carvings works.
In the Clan Unity artwork, in addition to the artist’s perfect carving techniques, there are also many symbolic designs hidden in it, such as crows, wolves, eagles, women and so on.
