Rome-Antic Delusions - Softcover

"Fish' s work is ripe with imagery. Skulls serve as vehicles, armor, and even hollowed out shells for the living. Wings sprout from within, helping the creatures float on as they explore their surroundings. Wise old men with huge beards smoke corncob pipes and ponder the Universe. Nature is important in Fish' s world- rabbits, beavers, owls and of course, fish inhabit the land and mix in with man-made objects like umbrellas, vans and the occasional frog-drawn skull wagon. Creativity, originality and raw skill have been undervalued lately, but no one can deny Fish' s genius." --Jeff Soto

Drago invited Jeremy Fish to come to Rome and create site specific works. The results are in the book Rome-antic Delusions. The title is a play on words and the contents contain a roman remix of Jeremy's images. The Italian touch has been added to his usual cast of characters, his rich iconography has had a glass of prosecco and a plate of pasta and the artists has got a bit of the Rome-antic touch.
