Coral Trout in the Deep Blue

$1,750.00 AUD

This painting of a coral trout signals my first, proper and serious attempt at depicting one of the many creatures beneath the ocean – fish. My father enjoys fishing with a heated passion, and first introduced me to fishing when I was still a juvenile. Fishing, in our family, has always been seen as a way of catching enough to last several meals (with any leftovers being filleted and frozen). The usual catch is bream, whiting, tarwhine, Mose’s snapper, flathead, the occasional mangrove jack, and small reef fish. I chose to depict this large coral trout in the depths of a coral reef, as they are highly sought-after and are a thing of beauty.

It is important to showcase artwork of our natural environment to ensure we are all aware of other life forms, apart from humans, that exist in the delicate environment. As most of us know, the Great Barrier Reef is in danger of being seriously damaged by the effects of climate change. With damage to the reef’s ecosystem comes the endangerment of fish species that we depend on for our own health and survival. Apart from that, humans have no right to force another species into the threat of extinction, purely because we are too lazy to make changes to environmental policy. I, therefore, will continue to portray Australia’s wildlife in art.

Frame Guide

Fine Art Print on Canvas Or Paper

Museum quality giclee print, using latest Epson high end professional fine art reproduction printer and UltraChrome archival inks resulting in beautiful prints with rich and vivid colours. We use either 300 gsm premium canvas or 180 gsm matte archival art paper.

Shadow Box Floating Frame

Hanging wire pre-installed, arrive ready to hang.

Proudly hand framed in Melbourne.

We use 4.5 cm thick timber mouldings, made of sustainable hardwood.

To enhance the presentation, we utilize the gallery wrap technique, where approximately 1 cm of the canvas print is wrapped around the stretcher bars on each side, ensuring a seamless and polished finish.

A subtle 5 mm gap between the canvas and the frame creates a striking floating effect, giving the artwork a sense of depth and prominence.

The canvas is expertly stretched over a wooden stretcher bar and mounted within a shadow box floating frame.

Stretched Canvas

Proudly hand made in Melbourne.

Hanging wire pre-installed, arrive ready to hang.

We will remove any "white border" around the wall art, as the "white borders" are designed for framed artwork only.

Stretched and gallery or mirror wrapped around a 3cm wooden stretcher. No outside frames.

Framed Poster

Hanging wire pre-installed, arrive ready to hang.

Proudly hand framed in Melbourne.

We don't use traditional mat board. Some products come with "white border" effect, which is just unprinted area. We can custom make a print to add or remove the white border. You just need to leave an order note about it.
