Sardines on Orange sets a close cluster of silver fish against a deep, warm ground that pulses with energy. Alice Straker brings her characteristic textural instinct to the subject – the play between the cool metallic sheen of the sardines and the flat expanse of orange behind them creates a tension that is both everyday and quietly theatrical. The mood celebrates the modest object lifted into something worth looking at slowly.

Produced as a fine art print, the image delivers Straker's rich colour contrasts and surface detail with exceptional sharpness – every scale and brushed edge defined exactly as painted.
