Sweet Home (Sardine Tin Art)
Large Lobster Sculpture by Ortaire de Coupigny – One-of-a-Kind Artwork
This rare large-format sardine tin sculpture by Ortaire de Coupigny features a sculpted lobster, rendered with meticulous detail and expressive form. Encased in transparent resin, the lobster’s armored claws and textured body seem suspended in time, merging natural strength with surreal humor. A seahorse, delicately engraved on the lid’s inner wood panel, adds a poetic marine counterpoint.
Crafted from metal on aluminum, wax, pigments, resin, and wooden engraving, this one-of-a-kind artwork exemplifies Ortaire de Coupigny’s unique fusion of sculpture, painting, and transparency. Measuring 22 × 13 × 3.5 cm (approximately 8.7 × 5.1 × 1.4 inches), it stands out as one of the few large-format pieces in the artist’s iconic sardine-can series.
