The Green Sentinel
The Green Sentinel is an original sardine tin assemblage by French artist Ortaire de Coupigny. A single sculpted fish, rendered in green, yellow, and dark tones, appears suspended within a turquoise field and framed by the golden edge of the tin.
Ortaire de Coupigny transforms the ordinary sardine can into a compact sculptural scene, combining relief, pigment, wax, and epoxy. The result is playful, tactile, and refined: a one-of-a-kind artwork where material transformation becomes part of the visual experience.
