- Lot Description
Canada Goose
John T. Sharp (b. 1943)
Kent, OH, 2009
36 by 16 by 12 in.
An impressive life-size hanging Canada goose carving showcasing the artist’s very best work.
John T. Sharp is an Ohio-based carver who follows the lead of his wood. From felling the logs of Black Walnut and Cherry near his home to seasoning the wood for carving, Sharp uses the grain pattern of each individual piece of wood to inspire his work.
He writes, “I prefer the discipline of using hand cutting tools, the constant maintenance and attention they require. My approach to sculpture is one of classical realism in which my handling of subject matter and medium are a direct appeal to the viewer’s sense of beauty and their appreciation of the skill of human hands.”
Sharp has participated in wildfowl carving shows and competitions for decades, winning ten “Best in World” honors at the World Championship Carving Competition and participating in dozens of one-man and group shows throughout the country.
In 1996 he was honored with the Master Wildlife Artist Award from the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, WI. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Cleveland, OH, the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, Salisbury, MD, and other museums and private collections.
