Boris the Blue Cod

Boris, the ever-expressive blue cod, has become an informal spokesfish for life beneath the waves. Set among kelp and Neptune's necklace, this painting places him in the rich textures and colours of the briny deep. Full of character and presence, Boris offers a glimpse into the personality and diversity of New Zealand's marine world.
