Original artwork description:
Painted in acrylic this yellowfin tuna is a symbol of the ecological and sociological impact that industrial fishing can have.
The lustily sought after yellowfin is fished off the East coast of Africa, frequently by illegal trawlers from the likes of Italy, Greece, South Korea and Russia.
Not only does overfishing marine predators have a profound impact on the health of our oceans, it forces communities that once relied on fishing to find other means of survival. In Somalia, a well known result is people that were once fishermen turning to piracy, the greed of the global fishing market has left little to no other means of survival.
This colourful fish is framed in a handmade pine floater frame and is ready to hang.
Materials used:
Acrylic on board, pine frame.
