Gyotaku of John Dory in Red Ink

Unlike many fellow Gyotaku artists, my intention is not to record the specimen accurately or to make a record of my catch.  I like to work on composition and colour more freely and I think that is a reflection of my fine art background.

In fact my fish come from various sources but are not caught by me as I’m a pretty hopeless fisherman!

The Dory came from Brixham in Devon and was sent to me with other fish as by product of fish processing.  

I’ve printed onto Chinese Xuan paper and the print has been backed with two sheets of Japanese masa paper.  It’s stamped with my Hanko and signed by me too.  The ink is a light fast and permanent acrylic ink.  The print is approx 69x34.5cm

Shipping in the UK is included.  Any questions drop me a line.  Jane
