Oil on Canvas, 122 cm wide x 92 cm high x 3.5 cm deep.

One of a series of oil paintings of interiors featuring fish entitled the “Home Sweet Home” series. Each painting has an intense immediate visual impact that is evocative and sensual. The observer is encouraged to absorb, interpret and interact with the visual triggers that make up each piece. Some of these are obvious; some are cryptic, spicy and playful. Our eye is drawn to the eyes of the fish, their captivating hypnotic stare, and all absorbing black holes of their pupils. Through the act of focusing on their eyes we end up reflecting on ourselves. The fish are metaphors of us; three second memories, everything is new. Have we learnt anything from our past? Are we the centre of our own world?  Are we trapped in a bowl? Do the fish find the viewer as intriguing as we find them?
