Michael Fantozzi | Original 3D Mixed Media Artwork | Unique Piece 1/1

DESCRIPTION

Red Light Anchovy is an original three-dimensional artwork by Italian-American artist Michael Fantozzi, belonging to his new artistic series ONE FISH.

A small fish with a strong personality, an ironic attitude and an unmistakable visual identity.

Through an unusual combination of colours, textures and sculptural details, the artist transforms a marine creature into a playful yet provocative contemporary artwork.

Every element is carefully created and assembled by the artist, making this piece genuinely unique.
