We’ve all seen that video showing Japanese artist, Ruisuke Fukahori, painting ultra-realistic goldfishes in “Goldfish Salvation” (show just ended at the ICN Gallery), haven’t we? If not, then check this out as it’s beyond mind-blowing:

They look alive, don’t they? Riusuke is using paint submerged in resin layers that take on the 3D shape of a real fish swimming around in the resin water. Everyone seeing this has been gasping in amazement at their realism. But if you want to see more, then definitely go visit his site as there are a ton of shots of his work. And marvel at his style, because he can paint a goldfish with just about any kind of brush (there are quite a few of his videos on YouTube – all amazing to watch).
p.s. Here’s another beautiful video showing Riusuke and others participating in the Hodokaya Park (保土ヶ谷) Candle Night 2010 festival:
Wow, I miss the festivals in Japan! Always brings such happy feelings. : )
