Title: Tuna Fishing, After Salvador Dali (c.1967/8) Medium: Oil & mixed media on board Signature: Signed on reverse & dated 67/8 Provenance: Private Collection Framed Description In this dynamic homage to Salvador Dalí’s late masterpiece The Tuna Fishing, John Doherty revisits the famed surrealist scene through his own inventive lens. A tumult of fishermen and giant tuna fish dominates the composition, rendered in a blend of oil and mixed media that creates rich texture and depth. Swirling forms and vibrant hues convey the frenzy of the catch, echoing Dalí’s dramatic vision while infusing it with Doherty’s youthful energy and technical flair. The painting juxtaposes photorealistic details with abstract, gestural passages – a nod to Dalí’s surrealism – resulting in a visually arresting tableau that is at once a tribute and a bold, standalone work. Signed by the artist, Tuna Fishing After Dalí holds particular interest as an early piece by Doherty, capturing the moment a promising Irish artist engages bravely with the legacy of a modern master.
