]]> A bespoke edition of ‘Surge’ for The Barracuda Casino in the west end of London. Produced as part of internal refurbishment and rebrand for Rank owned Grosvenor Casinos. The artwork has been positioned in the welcome area of the basement club. The client wanted a feature that draws attention to The Barracudas marine themed name. The basement, having no natural light, invited the idea of an artwork that had both a playfulness and reflective quality. The artwork shimmers when moving past and picks up on any of the environmental colours that surround the piece.

The piece captures the rush of energy and movement as a shoal of Mackerel switches direction, their silver bellies flashing in the sunlight.

]]> This piece captures a shoal of 1000 Atlantic Mackerel  – capturing the rush of energy and movement as a shoal of Mackerel switches direction, their silver bellies flashing in the sunlight. It is always a mesmerising sight – and one that I was compelled to try and frame in an artistic an arresting form.

The mackerel is a beautiful fish, with a marbled bluey-green back and a silver underside. They arrive in UK seas in the spring, and in summer they move in vast shoals as they hunt for food. Sometimes they work as a team to ‘herd’ smaller fish to the surface of the sea – making it look as though the sea is boiling.

Mackerel also shoal together as a defence against predators: the flash and shimmer of the large group distracts and confuses the eye. The overall effect is mesmerising and impressive. This piece captures the rush of energy and movement as the shoal switches direction, their silver bellies flashing in the sunlight.
Each fish is printed on a metallic card, then cut by hand and scored to create a three-dimensional effect. Each fish is pinned off on a midnight blue background.

The frame is wood finished in F&B ‘Off Black’ with a matt finish with a bevelled inner edge.

Dimensions: (h) 1200mm x (w) 1620mm, (d) 90mm
