Phosphorescent (glow in the dark)
Two paintings in one!

Inspired by the natural phenomenon where fish of the deep sea use bioluminescent nodes to glow in the dark, this artwork ‘charges’ in the daylight then creates a whole new painting for the wall on which it is hung after lights-out.

It’s name, Fishtych (pronounced ‘fishtick’), is derived from the word for a painting that’s been produced on two canvases: diptych. The fish lives a dichotomous life hinging on the magical time of sunset — a colourful, playful entity by day, and a dark beast after lights-out.
