Ortaire de Coupigny’s Three Fishes, One Captain plays with the tension between observation and authority, where sculpted and painted fish seem to float in an ambiguous space, their forms both delicate and striking. Their hand-painted textures—a mix of luminous greens and deep aquatic hues—give them a lifelike presence, enhanced by their positioning within a framed enclosure.
The engraved wooden caption becomes part of the artwork itself, reinforcing de Coupigny’s unique approach of blending sculpture, painting, and conceptual storytelling.
