About the artist

Andrea_Berthel_Portraitfoto

Andrea Berthel’s works in her Koi series create a parallel world in bright colors as a pastiche of the colorful world of Instagram. Ironically, expensive koi carp are put into mundane fish cans. The cans are based on the French model of the Saupiquet company. The artist’s signature, title, year of origin are concealed in the gram details and the year of birth is found as the drained weight. Current political and social issues of our time, such as mass consumption and overpopulation, are concealed behind the Pop Art facade.
