A single carp hangs suspended between two sweeping strokes of current, painted in monochrome ink and wash. Soft grey tones and reserved white give the fish its quiet weight, while wet ink blooms and a long trailing tail suggest upward motion through still water. Minimal, gestural and calm, this piece brings a serene, contemplative presence to any wall.
