This original Ribbonfish gyotaku brings together two elongated forms in a study of movement, rhythm, and contrast. Each fish was hand printed in traditional sumi ink on delicate Xuan paper, allowing the natural textures, subtle variations, and sinuous lines of the ribbonfish to shape the composition. The eyes have been hand painted as the sole enhancements, giving each impression a quiet sense of life while preserving the raw character of the original prints.
Printed on Xuan paper. 54 × 27. Signed original. Unframed.
