Original artwork description:

Ever since a trip to Japan in 2015 I've loved Japanese culture and cuisine. I've painted sushi a few time in the past, but the idea for this painting had been lingering for a while. It depicts the small, cute plastic fish-shaped bottles of soy sauce you often get with packs of sushi. They're usually just enough for one small serving, and have a red screw-top where the fish's mouth usually is. _x000D_ _x000D_ I'd previously painted this image as a smaller A5 piece, but it sold out straight away, so I've redone it on A4 instead._x000D_ _x000D_ While this painting relates to my usual depictions of food in a pop art style, it also forms part of a recent unplanned series of paintings of objects shaped like animals - rubber duck, swan boat, plastic pink flamingo, and now soy sauce fish. _x000D_ _x000D_ I love representing food in a simple, graphic style, opting for impact rather than realism. The object is here set against my often used sky blue background. The end result is a bold, bright painting that would brighten up any room in the house. _x000D_ _x000D_ It is painted in acrylics and Posca pen on thick high quality A4 paper. _x000D_ _x000D_ PLEASE NOTE: the painting doesn't come framed, but I've taken photos of it in a white A4 frame. A4 frames are easy to find however._x000D_ Size -_x000D_ 8.3 inches x 11.7 inches_x000D_ 21 cm x 29 cm_x000D_ Roughly 1mm thick_x000D_ _x000D_ The painting will be packaged in a thick envelope with fully tracked postage._x000D_ _x000D_ My work has been inspired by the classic pop artists like And Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, as well as modern day graphic artists, and food packaging.
