@sdrhoads @leif_lee and I study the largest piece at #RiusukeFukahori exhibit #GoldfishSalvation at the #joshualinergallery where Fukahori meticulously paints on layers of resin to create beautiful hyper realistic paintings of goldfish. I thought the shadows were real but I'm not sure anymore hahaha. (at Joshua Liner Gallery)

Amazing art! --> "Goldfish Salvation" by Riusuke Fukahori

Artist Riusuke Fukahori's London debut exhibition "Goldfish Salvation" transforms ICN gallery into the world of goldfish. When struggling with artistic vision, Fukahori's pet goldfish became his inspiration and ever since his passion and lifelong theme. His unique style of painting uses acrylic on clear resin which is poured into containers, resulting in a three-dimensional appearance and lifelike vitality.

Over the years the goldfish breeding business has reached an extreme, perfecting goldfish in a variety of colours and shapes, they are admired as beautiful objects like 'living sculptures'. Fukahori's brush strokes capturing the liveliness, delicacy and dynamics of the goldfish and his sculpture works create an illusion by using resin to captive the painted surfaces creating a truly 'living sculpture'.

This exhibition features twenty new painting works by this leading Japanese contemporary artist.
