Lobster Romance
Original Artwork by Jeesoo Kim.
Lobster Romance is a monumental study in biological armour, vulnerability, and endurance. Drawn to the paradox of the crustacean—an organism shielded in rigid chitin yet required to shed its entire protective shell to grow—Kim spent over 100 hours in solitary, meditative rendering. Using only fine-nib black fineliners on cotton rag, she translates cold, permanent ink into glistening, water-slick textures, organic weight, and blinding specular highlights. The result is both an intimate dialogue between artist and medium and an arresting, sculptural portrait of resilience.
- Medium - Fine nib archival pigment fineliners on heavy Arches cold-pressed cotton rag paper

You are highly recommended to measure your space prior to placing order. Below is a size guide for your information. All the product sizes are finish sizes. If you order a framed print, the size includes frame.
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.
