(3) Stephen Huneck (1948-2010) USA, Sheep Figures. Signed on underside of each. 1991. One black sheep and two white sheep. Condition: Small paint chips throughout. Ear on one white sheep chipped off. Size: 11 x 3 x 8 1/4 in. #5314 Stephen Huneck was an American wood carver and folk artist. Although he was largely self-taught as a carver, a skill he developed while working as a furniture restorer, Huneck was uncomfortable being labeled a "folk artist." He noted that while the simplicity and out-of-scale proportions of his work were similar to traditional outsider art, he rejected the idea that his work was naîve. He credited his time as an antiques dealer for the 19th century look of his work, including the trompe-l'œil effect in some pieces. Outside of initial cutting and final sanding, Huneck only used hand tools, and he had an atypical carving style, drawing the blade towards himself. Much of his work was carved from Vermont basswood, along with cherry, maple, and pine, harvested from Dog Mountain. Location A2
