Osprey 21" x 20" x 8" Canvas With Oysters, Pearl, & Resin. Price: Price not available. Description: In Osprey, Faris Saleh gathers oyster shells into a rich sculptural relief, allowing their natural variations to shape the composition. Cream, sand, gray, and deep brown surfaces overlap in an arrangement of ridges, hollows, and projecting edges. Made with oyster shells, pearl, and resin on canvas, the work invites close attention to the individual forms within its layered structure. Some shells open toward the viewer; others turn sideways, creating small pockets of shadow that deepen the surface. The title suggests a connection to coastal wildlife, while the clustered forms remain open to interpretation, recalling plumage, shoreline deposits, or the architecture of a reef. Light moves across the uneven terrain, revealing subtle differences in sheen and texture. Saleh gives these marine materials a renewed presence, drawing out their sculptural possibilities through repetition and placement. Earthy and tactile, Osprey offers an intimate encounter with the sea’s complex visual language..
