Zura – Fish of the Sea (2025)
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 48 × 42 in (122 × 107 cm)
A dynamic and captivating original acrylic on canvas by Zura. Measuring 48×42 in, this unique work offers a stirring abstraction of marine life, layered with rich hues and fluid, expressive brushstrokes. Showcased in the “ROOTS” exhibition at Twelve Chairs Gallery, this painting embodies Zura’s signature blend of figurative inspiration and painterly abstraction—ideal for any contemporary art collection. Certificate of authenticity included.
Visual & Formal Qualities
Bold, immersive composition: The canvas is nearly square, providing a broad stage for Zura’s vibrant aquatic subject—an enlarged, abstracted fish that pulses with energy and motion.
Expressive brushwork & color: Saturated hues—likely deep blues, teals, coral, and shimmering metallics—layer into dynamic strokes, evoking the fluidity and mystery of sea movement.
Textural depth: Multiple layers of acrylic create a subtle relief, giving the fish’s scales, fins, and watery surroundings a textured, tactile presence.
Concept & Interpretation
Nature-meets-abstraction: Zura frames marine life as a powerful emblem of vitality and change—projecting an organic form into the realm of abstraction, inviting viewers to interpret the creature both physically and metaphorically.
Emotive resonance: Through a hypnotic palette and rhythmic composition, the work conveys dual sensations: the quietude of unseen ocean depths and the restless energy of life beneath the surface.
Contemporary narrative: Part of Zura’s broader exploration of animal forms (see “Anglerfish,” “Rhino,” “Two Birds”), this painting distills his fascination with the life force animating Earth’s creatures.

ZURA (Georgian-American, b. 1969) Central to Zura’s artistic vision is the human form, often intertwined with animal heads—a compelling exploration of the primal instincts within human nature. His work captivates with its raw emotion, symbolic depth, and refined execution. In the spring of 2022, he captivated audiences during an exhibition in Williamsburg, unveiling a striking new series of works. Zura is a world-renowned artist celebrated for his powerful sculptures and paintings. His works grace public spaces across New York City, Atlanta, Georgia, and Connecticut, and are held in distinguished private collections, including that of American hedge fund manager Victor Niederhoffer. Born in the Republic of Georgia, Zura spent 14 years developing his craft before formally studying at the State Academy of Fine Art. He now lives and works in Brooklyn, where his Williamsburg studio serves as both a creative sanctuary and a teaching space, where he shares his expertise through sculpting classes. Zura remains deeply committed to his practice, guided by a philosophy rooted in beauty, love, and harmony.
