The fish’s deep green and black tail and fins sharply contrast with the bold orange and yellow of its body, drawing the eye to a powerful central focal point. Surrounding the fish, a fan-like array of elongated teardrop shapes, a signature element of Kenojuak’s style, radiates outward in rich red and burgundy-like tones. This dynamic arrangement creates a sense of both balance and fluid motion, making the image extremely visually compelling.Provenance
