Captain and the Beakfish - Artwork by Ortaire de Coupigny
Captain and the Beakfish features a single, brilliantly colored fish set within a classic sardine tin, partially sealed and filled with a translucent sea-blue resin. The fish, sculpted in expressive detail, gleams with a blend of orange, green, and indigo hues that shift with the light.
The engraved wooden panel adds a personal, humorous signature: a weathered captain peers out in profile, as if guarding the surreal aquatic specimen. With its compact size and vivid presence, this piece merges painterly playfulness with quiet intensity.
