Norwegian sculptures by Skule Waksvik

Two of Skule Waksvik's other sculptures

In yesterday's newspaper Aften a photo of an elderly gentleman and a bear in stone, caught my eye.
Skule Waksvik was a new name for me, but the shape of the bear felt good.

I will definitely go to Oslo to see his sculptures outside the Vigeland Museum this summer.

Mr. Waksvik was born in 1927 and did his debut as a sculptorer in 1947 in Trondheim. In 1948 he showed his bronze chicken in the Autumn Exhibition in Oslo.
Since then he has often made sculptures of animals both in bronze and stone, placed all over Norway.

He is still full of ideas and work, at the age of eighty and after working as a sculptorer for sixty years.
