About this artwork
This egg tempera painting was made after the artist's holiday of a lifetime in Japan this Spring was cancelled due to the Covid 19 crisis.
The decorative style and the curves of the fish are inspired by Japanese art, although the materials remain those of early European painting - egg tempera paint and gold leaf on an oak board prepared with a chalk ground.
The fish is painted over gold leaf, allowing shimmering, translucent effects where the paint… thins along the belly and at the tail tips. Each scale is scratched through the paint to reveal the gold beneath, creating a glittering, stylised pattern along the fish's flanks and spine.
The dimensions given include a 5mm border of exposed oak panel around the edges (see photos). The painting is signed and dated on the back and has a d-ring attached, so that it is ready to hang.
« I seek to rekindle in contemporary viewers a sense of wonder, awe and tenderness in relation to the world around them. »
Lara Broecke's passion for early Italian art was born while living in Florence. She currently lives in France and paints using early Italian techniques - gold leaf and egg tempera paint, made by hand-grinding pigments in egg yolk, on wooden panels coated with gesso. She marries a medieval sensibility with contemporary compositions, creates rich representations of the natural world and man's relationship to it.
