About the Item

The work shows a fine society that has gathered at a table for a feast. The participants are blowflies, whose bodies shimmer metallically due to their blue, green to golden-green glossy colouring. While this sheen exudes a certain fascination, these insects share a fondness for odorous, decaying organic matter, such as carrion. In summary, the dazzling personalities gathered at the banquet can also be briefly described with the saying: "More appearance than reality". Appearance in this context is the external impression that cannot always be relied upon. Being, on the other hand, is the assured fact. This is an oilpainting on Belgian linen. :: Painting :: Surrealism :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: Yes :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Front bottom right :: Canvas :: Landscape :: Original :: Framed: No

A Surreal Underwater Circus, Painting, Oil on Canvas
By Grace Diehl
Located in Yardley, PA
This is a playful painting that embodies the elements of whimsy and surrealism. The composition features a collection of scallop, spiral seashells and starfish arranged in a glass candy bowl, along with a large conch shell next to it. My research into clownfish inspired me to include fan coral in the painting, as they are known to swim amongst various types of coral. I was surprised to learn that clownfish are only 4-4.5 inches in length. The colorful hues of fan coral add to the overall vibrant theme of the piece. ********** "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming." - Dory, Finding Nemo...
