Orange koi swimming in deep blue water acrylic painting

Five orange and red koi glide through deep navy water, their bodies broken into the same short, blocky strokes as the ripples around them.

The surface is built from thick dabs of paint laid side by side like stacked tiles, wavering in rows so the water seems to shimmer. A patch of pale blue, white and yellow light opens in the centre while the edges sink to near-black. The fish are only half visible, curving in and out of the strokes, and they flicker in orange, scarlet and yellow against the cold blue.

IA#016 is an original impressionist animal painting showing orange koi swimming in deep blue water, hand-painted in acrylic on canvas with a heavily textured impasto surface. It is painted to order in any size; the 14 standard sizes run from 24×20 in (61×51 cm) to 80×60 in (203×153 cm). Painting takes about 10 days and delivery 5–7 days by DHL, FedEx or UPS; the minimum order is one piece.

Koi make obvious sense in sushi bars, Asian restaurants and hotel dining rooms, but the deep navy also gives the canvas weight on a long wall behind a banquette or a reception counter. On white or pale stone walls the dark field holds its own from the far end of a room. Black lacquer, smoked oak, slate and bronze suit it; keep nearby fabrics navy, rust or charcoal so the fish stay the only bright note.

Specified for restaurant & bar, spa & wellness, gallery & retail and dining room; it reads as bold and dramatic.

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.
