Reading Friday || World Oceans Day

Tomorrow is World Oceans Day, and to celebrate AnOther brings you a selection of beautiful watercolour paintings of ocean fishes by naturalist, artist and fisherman, James Prosek, from his book of the same title. For these large-scale, immaculately detailed works, Prosek travelled the Atlantic in order to capture each fish fresh from the sea, before its colour started to fade – an intimate experience usually witnessed by fishermen alone. “I am not painting fish to represent a species in a field guide,” Prosek explains. “I am painting an individual fish that I had a personal experience with…you could even call each one a self-portrait.”
