Hyperrealistic Depictions of Fish Merged With Their Coral Envrionments by Lisa Ericson

Artist, illustrator, and designer Lisa Ericson (previously) paints hyperrealistic images of imaginary animals, hybrids that intertwine species. Previously focused on a body of work that merged mice and butterflies, Ericson’s newest series focuses on the creatures below, painting bright fish against matte black backgrounds. The vibrant works highlight a variety of coral integrated into fins and tails of scaly animals, as well as showcasing the groups of fish that have decided to make these tails their home.

Ericson recently exhibited this series during the SCOPE Miami Beach Art Fair with Thinkspace Gallery. You can view more of her in-process and completed animal paintings on her Instagram and Facebook.
