Based on my yellowfish sculpture, each replica is 3D printed and painted: - Individually hand painted and signed and UV gloss varnished - Available in two size options of 40cm or 20cm - Freestanding
The inspiration behind the yellowfish sculpture came from a trip to the Orange River. It was a stretch of wilderness devoid of civilization, just rugged sun burnt cliffs and hills juxtaposed against the lush green riverbanks. Apart from the river, there didn't seem to be too much wildlife in the heat of the day with temperatures averaging about 43 degrees. The fishing, on the other hand, revealed a river teaming with life and the yellowfish were so abundant and large that we didn't have to struggle to find them. Choosing to flyfish exclusively, these fish proved to be quite a handful on our light tackle, but were a lot of fun though, keeping us busy most of the day. All the yellowfish were in perfect condition, feeding on quite large prey like dragon fly larva, crabs, big caddis fly larva etc.
Sculpted three dimensionally using reference photos to accurately capture the essence of the smallmouth and then 3D printed, each fish is lovingly hand painted and signed with equal levels of detail and creative flair, making every piece one of a kind!
