About this artwork
Painted from life in my studio. I went to the fishmongers and found this beautiful Gurnard. I wanted to capture the look and feel of the texture of its scales and contrasted the colours with the plate, lemons and drapery.
I painted the colours thinly over a white canvas (the way the pre-raphaelites did it) which gives extra luminosity and life to a painting.

« "Working directly from life is of the utmost importance. The urgency of a plein air painting is always immersive and exciting, while a portrait drawn from life will be a more truthful and wholistic portrayal of the sitter." »
Chris Polunin is an award-winning and classically trained painter from the United Kingdom. His art has been featured in exhibitions in the United States, France and the United Kingdom. He feels that representing beauty in all its forms is ever more important in a society that disregards the environment, and is determined to uphold nature’s beauty within his art. Whenever possible, he works directly from life. Polunin’s plein-air painting captures fleeting lighting effects, conveying the feeling of the moving moment.
