Seagulls Steal Your Chips

Description : Seagull Steal Your Chips (2025) By Elizabeth Solich, oil on canvas, recycled materials. A giant seagull hovers over a rough, algae-choked sea, clutching a stolen chip like it owns the place. Below, the ocean’s residents are in recovery mode; a pyjama squid with a tentacle in a sling, an octopus in a wheelchair, bandaged and bruised, an anglerfish hobbling on crutches, a seahorse gently pushing the octopus forward. A haunting silhouette of a fish made from cut plastic - its skeleton shaped by our waste. It’s absurd. It’s heartbreaking. It’s brilliant. This isn’t just marine life - it’s marine afterlife. A surreal reminder of how, our plastic, our pollution and other environmental threats ripple through the deep. And yet, even in this chaos, there’s care, resilience, and a strange kind of hope.

Adelaide based artist and photographer, Elizabeth Solich, has been honing her skills in underwater photography for the past seven years. Originally an architecture student, Elizabeth blended her photography skills and underwater observations of the fauna and flora with her drawing and painting experience, bringing about a perfect marriage of her two passions. Elizabeth's evolution into underwater photography allowed her to introduce another element to this union and extend the range of her talent even further. Her observations of marine fauna and flora allows Elizabeth to challenge boundaries, capturing the underwater world utilizing environmentally aware story telling in the exploration of movement and composition.  

Elizabeth shares her passion for everything underwater with the world. Through her artwork she expresses her never ending admiration for the weird and wonderful underwater creations of nature. Her works have been displayed at various exhibitions in Australia and overseas.
