Clive Fredriksson, Lionfish, Found Objects, Cutley, Metal, Steel, Wood, Unique, 39cm high, 41.5cm wide, 20cm deep

Lionfish by Clive Fredriksson is a captivating, table-top sized aquatic sculpture that brings the drama and delicacy of marine life into a finely crafted, contemporary art form. Inspired by the distinctive silhouette of the lionfish, the piece evokes the creature’s flowing, fan-like fins and poised, almost weightless movement.

Handmade using an inventive combination of repurposed cutlery and thoughtfully selected found objects, the sculpture showcases Fredriksson’s skill in transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary. Fork tines, spoon bowls, and other metal fragments are expertly cut, shaped, and arranged to mimic the layered, radiating structure of the lionfish’s fins, while subtle variations in texture add depth and visual intrigue. These reclaimed materials not only contribute to the sculpture’s aesthetic complexity but also reflect a sustainable, upcycled approach to art-making.

The interplay between cool, polished steel and the warmth of its wooden elements creates a pleasing contrast, enhancing both the organic and industrial qualities of the piece. The base provides stability while complementing the sculptural form, allowing the work to sit comfortably on a table-top, shelf, or cabinet as a distinctive focal point.

This is a unique, one-of-a-kind artwork, embodying both craftsmanship and creativity, and would appeal to collectors of contemporary sculpture, admirers of marine-inspired design, or those seeking a conversation piece with character and originality.
