Fish Wall Decor Orange (m8056)
It’s big. It’s round and it’s called an Opah. It looks like a goldfish that seriously outgrew its bowl. The Opah’s bright orange is represented in this piece. Instead of spots, the artist took license and painted intricate floral patterns on top of capiz shells. The artist continues by pressing patterns into the tin both in the fins and the face of this magnificent fish.
The basic frame of the wall fish is created using tin, which is powder coated as a black finish. The frame is reinforced using wrought iron wire along the inner edge. Capiz is an oyster shell and the primary purpose of the oyster is as a source of food. However, the by-product, the shell, can be used for decoration. Due to it being a natural material, the natural colors of the capiz can come through as tans and browns underneath the paint.
