Monochrome market fish still life acrylic painting

Fish hang in knotted plastic bags, row on row, against a near-black ground, and one bag at the centre glows cobalt blue. Apart from that blue, everything is black, white and grey.

The bags are drawn with dry white paint dragged and scraped over the dark, so the plastic looks taut and glossy, and the fish inside are quick flicks of white and blue. Handwritten numbers float on several bags. The top row fades into shadow, a grid of shelving shows behind, and the bottom edge breaks into rougher marks, so the light gathers in the middle band.

IA#079 is an original impressionist still life painting showing market fish in tied plastic bags, black and white with blue accents, hand-painted in acrylic on canvas. It is painted to order in any size; the 10 standard sizes run from 24×24 in (61×61 cm) to 72×72 in (183×183 cm). Painting takes about 10 days and delivery 5–7 days by DHL, FedEx or UPS; the minimum order is one piece.

Dark and square, it holds a wall in a seafood restaurant, an oyster bar or a dining room painted black or deep navy, where its blue can pick up glassware and glazed tiles. It also suits a gallery-style shop or office with concrete, raw steel and white oak. Give it a tight spot, because the dark ground soaks up light. The square shape works alone, centred on a pier or between two doors.

Specified for gallery & retail, restaurant & bar, workspace & office and dining room; it reads as moody and bold.

These share its palette, format and surface, so the three hang as a set: a run along a hotel corridor, a pair either side of a bed with this one between, or one per suite on the same floor.
