At first look you’d think that these goldfish in a bath pail are real…how could they not be they’re swimming happily. If you have an aquarium you’ll know better, no such amount of fish can survive in a small space like this without proper maintenance and other specialized equipment to appropriate water quality and other characteristics suitable for the residents (be it pond, aquarium or bowls).
Inspired by his pet fish, Fukahori’s works mainly depicts these colorful aquatic vertebrates (white goldfish has a lovely color too ^_^). See the artist at work in this video, he uses acrylic mostly in containers then he paints again and pours resin on top, the layers result in a three-dimensional appearance. Notice too the brush he uses at the end…resembles a giant broom we use back home for cleaning the floor. teehee.
