Odd Fish - An Oil Painting by Vakhtang Kakulia

Odd, very odd indeed. This odd-bod of a fish looks like he's been pulled apart and reassembled as a patchwork quilt from odds-and-end found on the ocean floor. Rags and sticks appear to make up his scales. Another of Vakhtang Kakulia's oil paintings with a sea theme.

Painting of a Fish by Georgian painter Vakhtang Kakulia

That’s Georgia in Eurasia, not the state in the South of the United States. Artist Vakhtang Kakulia hails from Tbilisi, Georgia, which while being located on the banks of the Kura (Mtkvari) River is nonetheless pretty landlocked. In the collection of art that Kakulia provided me with for posting to ArikiArt several paintings feature the sea and fish. I wonder at this fascination for the sea. His style of painting is not to paint the subject in one plane of continuous color, but actually to compose the image in parts which give the impression of collage or patchwork. Please feel free to post you comments and impressions of this oil painting of a fish by Vakhtang Kakulia.
