About this artwork
This piece is currently with Ap'arte gallery in Porto, Portugal
Azulejo piece depicting a gutted fish. Framed in raw pine
The piece is executed in azulejos, traditional Portuguese ceramic tilework.
Imagery of fish, particularly sardines, are very common in Portugal.
The viscerality of the gutted fish is almost sexual.
The raw exposed chacota ceramic is something that's not often seen in azulejos, but is used here to contrast and compliment the… more traditional blue and white.
Azulejos are traditional Portuguese tilework.
The individual tiles are hand painted with glazes, and then fired in a kiln.
They are typically seen decorating the exterior and interior of churches, grand houses, and civic buildings. They are usually painted in shades of blue, giving them their name - "azul" for blue in Portuguese.

« I think of paintings as puzzles to be resolved, expressing a true emotional experience. I create strong sentimental attachments, and breathe life into them as objects in their own right. »
Berriblue is an emerging Polish-Irish artist based in Porto, Portugal whose paintings have been exhibited internationally and published in numerous magazines. Originally trained as a printmaker and graphic designer, Berriblue built her reputation in Dublin as a street artist under her earlier pseudonym, JTB. Her work in the studio and on the street explores themes of religion, sexuality, mental health, and personal identity. Combing both figuration and abstraction, Berriblue creates emotionally charged works in a mix of oils, wood paint, tempera and acrylics. Her work is held in collections in Dublin, Lisbon, Mozambique, and Los Angeles.
