Treasure Island is a one-of-a-kind artwork by French artist Ortaire de Coupigny, known for his collectible sardine tin sculptures. Inside a real sardine can, two hand-sculpted and painted fish appear in vivid tones of blue, green, and red, suspended in transparent green resin. The detail of the textures and pigments gives each fish a lifelike yet imaginative presence.
Engraved on the inner wooden lid is a sailing ship, subtly referencing Treasure Island and adding narrative depth. This unique piece combines contemporary sculpture, painting, and resin art in a compact, poetic format that has become the artist’s signature.
Crafted from metal on aluminum, wax, pigments, resin, and wood, this original sculpture blends humor, technique, and storytelling—perfect for collectors of rare and unusual contemporary art.
