{"product_id":"michael-godard-afloat","title":"Afloat","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfloat is a split-view underwater fantasy by Michael Godard: a ship in a bottle floats on the surface while, below, a whimsical undersea world unfolds with tiny personified characters, an octopus, a shipwreck, sharks, and a sea turtle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt appeals to collectors of whimsical underwater scenes and nature and wildlife wall art, one of the more elaborate storytelling pieces in Godard's catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Afloat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfloat is part of Michael Godard's expanding catalog of limited edition fine art. Rendered in Godard's signature bold, saturated color palette, Afloat splits the canvas at the waterline: above, a tiny ship-in-a-bottle bobs beside a small figure fishing from the surface; below, small green personified characters explore a sunken shipwreck alongside an octopus, sharks, and a sea turtle on a coral-strewn ocean floor. It's one of the most densely detailed scenes in Godard's catalog, and the piece rewards close viewing: he is known for tucking hidden names, dates, and initials into his compositions, giving collectors new details to find long after Afloat is on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"godard-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs Afloat signed and numbered?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, Afloat includes a Signed and Numbered edition that Michael Godard signs and numbers by hand, alongside hand-numbered editions: Artist Proof Edition of 50, G Edition of 250, Gallery Proof Edition of 25, and M Edition of 50.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"godard-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat sizes is Afloat available in?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfloat comes in 3 sizes (24\" x 38.5\", 18\" x 29\", 40\" x 64\"), spread across the Artist Proof, G, Gallery Proof, Signed and Numbered, and M editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"godard-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes Afloat come with a certificate of authenticity?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

The ship-in-a-bottle floating above a bustling underwater world, complete with Godard's signature small personified characters exploring a shipwreck, lets Michael Godard tell a fuller story in a single canvas than almost anything else in his catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Michael Godard","offers":[{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 24\" x 38.5\" Artist Proof Edition of 50","offer_id":49218585493674,"sku":null,"price":1595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 18\" x 29\" G Edition of 250","offer_id":49218585526442,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 24\" x 38.5\" Gallery Proof Edition of 25","offer_id":49218585559210,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 24\" x 38.5\" Signed and Numbered Edition of 300","offer_id":49218585591978,"sku":null,"price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 40\" x 64\" M Edition of 50","offer_id":49218585624746,"sku":null,"price":3995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/2238\/3935\/files\/Afloat_Michael_Godard.jpg?v=1788964983","url":"https:\/\/michaelgodardgallery.com\/products\/michael-godard-afloat","provider":"Michael Godard Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
