About this artwork
It was viewers who drew the artist's attention to the fact that her work recalled oriental styles of painting, in its graphic style, use of gold and subject matter. Embracing this, at the beginning of the first coronavirus lockdown, she painted a large Japanese carp, calling it 'A Dream of Japan', since her dream holiday to Japan had been cancelled due to the pandemic.
This exquisite, small painting and its companion, 'Carp 2', continue her exploration… of the play of orange against ultramarine blue and the just-glimpsed effect produced by the touches of gold in the scales as the light moves over them.
The painting is on an oak panel, prepared with gesso and water gilded beneath the fish. The paint was made by hand, grinding raw pigments in egg yolk tempera. This was scratched through to reveal the underlying gold around the scales of the fish.
The painting has been signed and dated on the reverse 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.
