The GOTCHA® Shark Mural. 2001 This one-of-a-kind mural was created to illustrate Polage art's versatility and the creative reach. Sixteen individual panels make up the single, integrated image of the drama of undersea life, framed by palm trees and focussing on an attacking shark. The life-sized diver is a panel of polarizing filter, through which the murals colors come to life.



Viewed through polarizing sunglasses or a hand-held viewer, the Polage gives forth all of its raging color and life. The whole piece measures 8 feet by 8 feet, each of the sixteen panels measuring 23" x 23" each.

This unique piece is available for sale, it is ideal for a science museum, aquarium, university or private collector/scuba afficionado. It can be installed directly into a wall, or can be purchased with the lightbox matrix seen in the photographs here. Contact the studio for details.

This image shows the panels without polarizing filter. The diver hangs approximately 12" to 18" in front of the artwork. When the art is reflected on any sort of reflective surface -- a pool of water, a glass table or window, it displays in full color. The colorful imagery at the right in the photo above illustrates this phenomena.

Above, you see the Polage as viewed through a polarizing filter, at the opposite orientation. The piece can be viewed through hand-held viewers, polarizing sunglasses or panels of polarizer placed around the environment.

This stunning piece represents a unique opportunity for an individual or institution. Contact the studio to discuss purchase or similar commissions.
