This original Ribbonfish gyotaku highlights the remarkable length, movement, and delicate structure of one of the ocean’s more unusual forms. Created through the traditional Japanese art of Gyotaku, the fish was hand printed in sumi ink onto delicate Xuan paper, allowing its fine texture, elongated body, and natural irregularities to become part of the composition. The eye has been hand painted as the sole enhancement, adding a subtle point of life to the otherwise untouched impression.
Printed on Xuan paper. 54 × 27. Signed original. Unframed.
