Marlin by Andrew Posa


'Marlin' sculpture by Andrew Posa at 145 Wellington Street West in downtown.

Marlin is a kind of fish with a long snout and crest-like dorsal fin. This bronze and granite sculpture portrays that impressive shape in an abstract form. Posa's sculpting technique is almost similar to that of his other sculpture U V Ceti near Berczy Park.

By the way, in Hemingway's novel 'The Old Man and the Sea', it is a large Marlin fish that old man Santiago captures on 85th day after a long and hard struggle.
