Ortaire
Tins
Ortaire was born in Normandy, France. After studying Fine Art at Cherbourg, he settled in the Bretagne area where he
lives near the sea with his family. He works with various materials and pigment create his unique painted fish before suspending it in paraffin wax and covering them with transparent resign.
Genuine sardine tins (manufactured in his local area) are used where possible to create and interesting dynamic between an industrial, mass-produced everyday objects and art. Using his unusual mix of materials, Ortaire aims to amuse and delight us with this unexpected marriage of commercial and the artisan. Ortaire has exhibited his work at
The Royal Academy and throughout France, The Netherlands, United Kingdom and Switzerland.
