Blue Octopus
Aside from being incredibly intelligent animals, Octopus have the ability to fit into or squeeze through impossibly tiny spaces. This, along with being masters of camouflage – matching not only the colour but also textures of their surroundings, enables them to escape predators. If camouflage, a hasty retreat or releasing black ink fails to land them in safety, they can even lose an arm to an attacker and grow it back later. This array of tricks is what makes the octopus the ultimate escape artist, and by far my favourite animal alive.
Each order will be a unique mixed media original artwork where the escaping tentacles will be painted in positions unique to each piece. The option of personalisation is there as I can paint the tentacle extensions in any colour to tie in with customer interiors.
Small: 850x500mm
Large: 1150x700mm
Escapism has value, even if I don’t know what the value is, exactly. Maybe its just part of some healthy way that we deal with the world. Lev Grossman
