Description

Oreo Dory Fish (Weird Fishes), acrylic painting on a canvas background, featuring newspaper clippings, 40 x 50 cm, mounted on a stretcher frame and ready to hang.

The collage part of the picture features a newspaper clipping taken from a Turkish newspaper, there is a small part of an image visible which is a photograph of a simit (like a Turkish bagel) seller. Oreo dory fish are a weird species of deep-sea fish that live around Australia and New Zealand, they have oddly large eyes (because deep sea fish) and are actually considerably scarier looking than the ones in the painting.
