The exhibition included the Takuseikai method, that is, the prohibition of retouching fish once printed. Post show I took the liberty of adding some shadow range.
The design of the spiral is certainly the most complex from an executive point of view: the anchovy crossings are performed by first impressing the fish in the foreground, while… the others that "pass behind" are printed one piece at a time to avoid unpleasant crossings. and overlays.
Not being able to darken the fish after printing, the dark effect of the anchovies that pass behind is obtained by inking the fish more, while those in the foreground have been inked more lightly.

« Japanese elegance meets Italian dynamism. »
Elena Di Capita is an artist based in Italy whose paintings have been exhibited nationally and in France. She is principally inspired by gyotaku, which is a traditional Japanese method for printing fish that dates back to the mid-1800s. However, Di Capita's compositions differ from the usual gyotaku panorama, as she imbues her pieces with a "three-dimensional multitude that becomes pure dynamism". She creates with acrylics and ink on paper.
