Height 11 in., Width 10.5 in., Depth 2.5 in. Charming kinetic automata sculpture by Welsh artist Peter Markey, dated 2000. Constructed in painted wood, the piece features an animated assembly of brightly colored fish mounted within an open frame structure. When activated, the interconnected mechanisms rotate and pivot, creating lively, synchronized movement that brings the aquatic forms to life. The fish are painted in bold primary colors with graphic striping and stylized eyes, reflecting Markeys playful aesthetic and mastery of hand-crafted mechanical design. Signed and dated by the artist on the base. A delightful example of contemporary British automata, appealing to collectors of kinetic sculpture, mechanical folk art, and late 20th-century studio craft.
