John Dory & Juvenile – Gyotaku Print

This A3 Gyotaku print features both an adult John Dory and a juvenile specimen, the smaller of which was a gifted scientific sample. Printed using lightfast, permanent blue and gold acrylic inks on handmade Thai Mulberry paper, the composition offers a contemporary interpretation of the Gyotaku tradition — balancing scientific observation with expressive colour and modern presentation.  To finish off the presentation the piece has been float mounted in an Oak Foil frame and this has museum grade acrylic glazing. 

The initial print is wet mounted and reinforced with two layers of acid-free Japanese Masa paper for archival stability. The hand-torn edges enhance the tactile quality of the piece, allowing it to be displayed float-mounted or trimmed and framed traditionally.

Finished with my personal hanko stamp, each piece is a unique original — not reproduced.

Shipping within the UK is free, and the work is supplied rolled in a protective tube.
