"Stephan Fisher: Chimeras"
2000-10-13 until 2000-12-17
Frye Art Museum
Seattle, WA, USA

Pennsylvania-born artist Stephan Fisher uses charcoal, graphite, ink, and wash on paper to draw impeccably observed and amazingly complex still-life drawings that rival paintings in their richness and subtlety.

In his work, the artist deals with illusion and the play of light and shadow on a dizzy array of objects, which are often grouped on reflective surfaces that dissolve the boundries between the object and its setting. Patterns created by floor tiles, or shadows cast by Venetian blinds, often create a grid-like overlay against which the objects appear in counter point. The virtuoso draftmanship with which Fisher renders th etantalizing visual phenomena actuallycalls into question the very reality of the images. According to one writer, his drawings are illusions of illusions.
