Troll, Ray , 1954-
Rapture of the deep : the art of Ray Troll Art of Ray Troll / with an introduction by Brad Matsen and commentary by the artist ; foreword by David James Duncan - Berkeley : University of California Press , c2004. - iv, 133 p. : col. ill. ; 27 cm.
The art of Ray Troll -- Alaska -- Stream of consciousness -- Dancing to the fossil record -- Fish storm on the Amazon -- Sharks and their relatives.
Alaska artist Troll´s knack for making intricate, playful drawings of all things fishy has led to an empire of books, magazine illustrations, museum shows, gallery displays and decorated t-shirts. This large-sized, full-color volume presents an overview of Troll´s drawings, complete with commentary by the artist. Some of the pieces are amusingly tongue-in-cheek (Rebel with a Cod, Weapons of Bass Destruction,The Lucky Fish Gets the Cheeseburger), while others are beautifully surrealistic. But the most impressive are his grandly composed fish-scapes (Fishes of the Amazon, Bottom Fish of the North Pacific, A Ratfish Called Troll), in which layers of perfectly-detailed fish are arranged into brilliant panoramas. Matsen´s lively introduction provides lots of useful information about Troll´s life and aesthetic leanings.
