Dylan Martinez: Swedish Fish Water Bags: The newest iteration of the Water Bag Series

Dylan Martinez’s latest release from his celebrated Water Bag Series introduces the playful “Swedish Fish Water Bags.” Rendered entirely in glass, each sculpture captures the uncanny illusion of a small plastic bag filled with water and a floating candy-red fish inside. True to the iconic candy, the fish’s text and texture appear only on the front surface, reinforcing Martinez’s meticulous attention to detail and his ongoing exploration of material deception. The work continues the artist’s fascination with transforming fragile glass into objects that appear soft, fluid, and temporary. Following the rapid sellout of his previous Goldfish Water Bags, this new iteration arrives with strong collector demand. The Swedish Fish Water Bags are now available through Square One Gallery as a signed and numbered open edition.
