Grey Graded Fighting Fish Cast Resin Sculpture, 72cm, with flared fins fading from black to clear, on a small round base against a plain white background.
Grey Graded Fighting Fish Cast Resin Sculpture - 72cm $2,36200
Description

This cast resin sculpture is a fighting fish with everything open: the tail fanned up and back, the dorsal raised, the belly fins spread, all of them worked into wide veils with ragged torn-looking edges. The head and the line of the back are near-black, and from there the colour falls away through a grey until the outer few centimetres of every fin are colourless. It stands on a small clear pad.

A Colour That Stops Before the Fin Edge

The grade is set to run out before the edge and that is a deliberate stopping point rather than a fade that happens to end. A colour carried all the way out would make each fin a solid shape; stopped short, the edges disappear against a pale ground and the fish appears to be dissolving, which is what the piece is for. Where it stops has to be the same distance in on every fin or the animal looks lopsided, and on a ragged edge that distance has to be judged rather than measured. The veils themselves are worked from both faces because a fanned tail is looked at from behind quite as much as from the front, and every tear in the edge is cut in and then rounded off, since a square-cut tear catches light as a white line and reads as damage.

This is wide rather than tall and it is read from the side, so it wants a surface with a clear run: a console, a low bookcase, a broad window ledge. Put it against the light. With a window behind it the colourless fin edges vanish altogether and only the dark body and the grey middle read, which is the best of it; against a dark wall the whole fish closes into one silhouette. Leave clearance on both sides, and be aware the fin edges are the part that finds a passing sleeve.

The Grade, the Veils and Moving It

Where the piece is standard the build is 3–4 weeks, and where it is bespoke 5–6. Where the grade stops is set at order, and it can be run right to the edges, held to the body alone, or reversed so the fins are dark and the body pale. Other colours are made the same way in amber, green and a deep red. Fin spread can be opened further or brought in, and a mirror-image fish can be made where two are wanted. Any scale is cut to order. It travels in a fitted crate with each fin supported along its length and the packing is worth keeping; lift it under the body and never by a fin, and two people make that easier than one. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.

A fighting fish with every fin fanned out belongs with our animal sculptures; ragged, open fins and tail lead to our organic sculptures, and smoke fading to colourless joins our resin sculptures.

Delivery to Your Address

Delivery is to the door or curbside at your shipping address.

For larger sculptures shipped by sea freight, the carrier will contact you in advance to arrange a delivery window. Please ensure someone is available to accept the delivery and that the property has suitable access for the size of the piece.

Once the sculpture arrives, you are responsible for positioning it in its final display location. For larger or heavier pieces, we recommend arranging two people (family, friends, or a local moving service) to help with placement.
