The brilliant Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori creates stunning three-dimensional paintings in which goldfish play the main roles.

This is probably the only case when the public, hungry for spectacle, is delighted not only by the artist’s works themselves, but also by the technique of painting them, which, by the way, although not unique, has found its application in the fine arts precisely thanks to the talented Japanese .

Ryusuke Fakahoyri was born on the island of Honshu, where he graduated with honors from the Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music.

Oddly enough, the artist was inspired to create these paintings by his goldfish, which aroused in him a passion and love for his dearest fellow creatures.
Ryusuke began to create when his beloved pet was either flushed down the toilet, or she floated up on her belly, tired of the overly intrusive attention from the strange Japanese, who in all seriousness considered her the standard of earthly beauty.

“She had this pure natural beauty that I had never seen in anyone,” Ryusuke Fakahoyri said in his first interview. “And when I looked at her, I realized that even in our time of thriving cynicism, there are still people who, in order to please their base needs, have not forgotten about such concepts as loyalty, abandonment, friendship and love, and, therefore, we all still have there is hope for a bright future.”

In general, you understand, Ryusuke is obsessed with goldfish, in the good or bad sense of the word - it’s up to you to decide.

He is convinced that every goldfish should have its own home. That is why he paints his paintings in boxes, tubs, basins, etc. containers made exclusively from the highest grades of wood.

His unique style of painting consists of applying even, clear strokes of acrylic paint onto frozen layers of transparent resin, from which a three-dimensional picture of a goldfish is created, which looks as if it were alive, and it seems that if you just close your eyes for a second, it will begin to move its fins, trying to get out and captivity in the tar prison.

Those. Each layer of resin with acrylic paint applied to it represents an independent picture of a separate plane of the fish’s body.
Depending on the complexity, the number of resin layers in one painting can reach 60, and the time spent on painting it ranges from one day to several months.

In December 2011, Ryusuke Fakahoyri made his debut on the art scene at the London ICN Gallery, where an exhibition of his works entitled “Goldfish Salvation” was presented, the heroes of which were, as you probably already guessed, the artist’s beloved goldfish!

Despite its uniqueness, the technique of creating three-dimensional paintings, developed by Ryusuke Fakahoyri, has much in common with the principle of operation of a 3D printer, namely laser lamination technology, which consists of creating a solid object by gluing layers of working material together.
