Fish in bright colors swim together in a school, their movements seemingly both ecstatic and fraternal. J. Borges works in naif style to create this delightful image. The Brazilian artist carves his woodcut blocks freehand.
Xylograph (woodcut) print on paper, titled "Cardume de Peixes" in Portuguese.

"Vibrant print"
As an aspiring artist I dont often purchase other peoples art,I dont usually have the budget however when I saw this print by J. Borges I made an exception. His work is dynamic and I feel very strongly in supporting artists from other parts of the world. I feel it is an investment in the artist and an investment that will give me smiles every time I see it on my studio wall. Hopefully it will also possibly appreciate in value as well,though my main reason for purchasing this was bc I really enjoy the design. I love that when I am able to save up, I can come here to Novica and find lovely things that give back to the wonderful crafts people who work so hard to earn their living. We get something wonderful knowing that the people who made these objects are engaged in fair trade. Win win : )
