In Full Face, Ortaire de Coupigny zooms in on a singular fish, filling the entire circular frame with its painted head. The creature’s large, slightly off-center eye and subtly expressive mouth create a quietly humorous presence. This piece is one of only three produced in this distinctive round format, notable for its height (5.5 cm) and generous diameter (16.5 cm), approximately 6.5 x 2.2 inches.
Immersed in translucent resin, the fish’s shimmering hues—metallic blues, greens, purples, and rust tones—glow beneath the surface. There’s a sculptural stillness to the scene, like a portrait painted under glass. With its minimalist composition, Full Face foregrounds expression and intimacy, inviting viewers into a moment of almost disconcerting eye contact.
