If You Go Back Far Enough,

in our blog you will see,

pictures like this, they are the work of Riusuke Fukahori, 

 for his new Irobukuro series his inspiration has turned to imitating the vessels and scenery of Mong Kok’s Goldfish Market in Hong Kong, 

 where rows of colorful fish line stall after stall, 

 for the included works he molds resin to resemble plastic bags filled with water, instead of realistically depicting the detailed scales, eyes, and fins of the fish Fukahori paints abstractly to capture how a goldfish glides through the water,

 these works, along with some of his more traditionally painted pieces are included in his third solo exhibition with Joshua Liner Gallery in New York City, 

titled Goldfish Blossoms,

as well as a wooden oke tub previously used at a restaurant he frequented as a child,

 Fukahori will present paintings in black bowls used at a Buddhist temple,  

 and other items in his studio,

 the exhibition opens on December 13, 2018 and runs through January 19, 2019, all image courtesy of the artist and Joshua Liner Gallery, what an exceptional talent, they all look so real.
