Description
“The rise and fall of the sky fish”
Size: 520 x 650 mm
Media: Acrylic on print
Price: $216
An unusually wet spring made ideal breeding conditions for the sky fish. Large schools of the fish would venture in from the countryside and make a nuisance of themselves in urban areas. The droppings left behind on buildings and sculptures forced local authorities to reduce the numbers by poisoning them with barley drops on the tops of cathedrals and town halls.
Painting measures 520 x 650 mm and is a second-hand print that I have adorned with my own style and humour. Paintings and frames are in second-hand condition so may have marks or dents but are generally in good condition and ready to hang.
Since 2012 I have been adding my spin on those old op-shop prints that no one wants. I see it as re-interpreting a scene that someone else has setup, telling the punch-line to a joke, giving a tired print a new lease of life. Many of the paintings can also be purchased as prints.
