Celebrating Australia’s iconic ocean fauna in glorious colour and definitive form, at 1:1 scale.
Life-size Ocean Art is a joyous celebration of marine life by multidisciplinary artist, Ian Daniell. A colourful art series, each painting champions marine idols, both great and small, at life-size. Inspired by encounters in the wild, swimming, diving and whale-watching, the works are distinguished by their unique and carefully crafted compositions.
Awe-inspiring scale combined with a distilled stylisation portrays each subject in a bold, eye-catching fashion. Playful, fun and shiny: bright colour combinations appear almost candy-like as each painting is finished with a super high-gloss, similar to water itself.
The artworks are also available in the form of limited edition fine art prints. Each one is signed by the artist and annotated with a percentage, which notes the print size in relation to the life-size original. Ian donates 1% of every sale to 30x30: a global goal to protect 30% of world oceans by 2030.
Ian Daniell Art Studio & Gallery opened to the public in March 2024. It is where Ian creates his work, as well as a venue for exhibitions, workshops and events.
