And, interestingly, has become one of my signature paintings. In 2017, when I had my first studio in Asheville at Trackside Studios, I also got my first solo show downtown Asheville at Mountain Madre. I had just seen an octopus while diving and was so inspired by them, I wanted to do the show entirely focusing on octopuses. Also, they would look fantastic with the Mexican cuisine of the restaurant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI painted several octopuses and I can’t remember if I didn’t measure the space beforehand, or I simply was estimating the space. A week before the show, I went in and discovered I had SO much extra brick wall space to display on! And.... began to panic. I needed a crown jewel. A giant painting to anchor the show. I needed an idea....and one came. Octopuses dueling in the ocean. Mostly based on my imagination (as they are solitary animals and rarely photographed together,) this painting was created in a week, mostly at night as I was still working my day job. I was so pleased with how it came out, and it was a great exercise in working under pressure! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI was incredibly nervous for the show, as I always am (and back 9 years ago when I told people the theme of the show they did give me a “are you crazy?” kind of look.) Now octopuses have become much more mainstream which is wonderful! I was filled with support from friends, family, and supporters, and Hank found his forever home that night. Soon after, The Duel also found its forever home. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAvailable in 8.5\" x 11\" or 16\" x 20\". \u003c\/span\u003eEvery print is hand signed by me \u0026amp; each order is packed with lots of love!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tessa Lang Asheville Paintings","offers":[{"title":"Medium","offer_id":48005136580766,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":48005136613534,"sku":null,"price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/5583\/2734\/files\/4D7B5A97-EB79-4F80-A554-D1DB48D5C9E0.jpg?v=1784597480"},{"product_id":"achelois-the-audacious-print","title":"Achelois the Audacious : Print","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAchelois is especially special to me. I spotted an octopus while diving in Greece several years ago. She was the only thing I saw that day, but I was mesmerised by her movement, beauty, and grace dancing along the ocean floor. The moment I came back from that trip, I knew I had to paint her. Achelois was one of the first octopuses painted, has deep meaning to me as I battle my alopecia struggles with Achelois meaning “she who washes away the pain.” She was showcased in my first all octopus art show in Asheville, and has become one of my signature paintings. She was also the first painting I put on the leggings. As the wearable art grew, I started Chtapodi Collective and she became the face *or legs* of the brand. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAvailable in 8.5\" x 11\" or 16\" x 16\" on paper, or a small 10\" x 10\" metal reproduction. \u003c\/span\u003eEvery print is hand signed by me \u0026amp; each order is packed with lots of love!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tessa Lang Asheville Paintings","offers":[{"title":"Large \/ Metal","offer_id":48005179441310,"sku":null,"price":372.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Metal","offer_id":48036734435486,"sku":null,"price":278.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Paper","offer_id":48036735221918,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Paper","offer_id":48036735254686,"sku":null,"price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/5583\/2734\/files\/85036C47-13D0-4BD8-8904-C72DEAB32BB9.jpg?v=1784597952"},{"product_id":"copy-of-theres-an-octopus-climbing-up-my-leg","title":"There's an Octopus Climbing Up My Leg...
