Gerardo Chierchia Paints Three-Dimensional Goldfish Embedded in Layers of Resin!


Italian artist now based in Australia Gerardo Chierchia paints three-dimensional goldfish using a complex process of poured resin. The fish are painted meticulously, layer by layer, the sandwiched slices revealing slightly more about each creature, similar to the function of a 3D printer. We really love the rich depth of the pieces and the optical illusion aspect, it’s such an odd process that results in something that’s both a painting and sculptural. Just wonderful!

Gerardo has listed a number of his artworks for sale on artFido HERE. Check them out and if you like them, support his art and buy one!

  1. I think your article and those photos are misleading, as the Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori is the one who did those, not Gerardo Chierchia.
