Le doré bleu (2016) 

 

Urethan, oil paint, gold leaf, stainless steel treble hooks and hardware, cotton rope

​

Le doré bleu is a sculpture that represents both a trophy fish and a fishing lure. The body is modeled from a rare and supposedly extinct blue pickerel, said to be a mutation that gave the fish a blueish tint. The gold leaf refers to the fish's french name, doré – golden. The gilded scales adds an attractive flair, mimicking reflective paints used on sports fishing lures. The bright alluring fish has two large treble hooks, making this piece a real threat to those who get close.
