Description
In Ortaire de Coupigny’s work “The Long Swim,” four elongated hand-painted fish are arranged within a tin can, their slender bodies appearing to glide through translucent resin.
Shimmering flashes of blue, green, and red evoke the impression of gentle ocean currents, making the fish seem both suspended and in motion.
A delicate octopus carving on the wooden panel suggests a vast marine world extending beyond the frame.
The artwork transforms a simple tin can into a miniature seascape, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the interplay of color, texture, and depth.
