"Craig Fisher: Paintings"
2004-04-08 until 2004-05-08
Florence Lynch Gallery
New York, NY, USA United States of America

The exhibition will include new paintings with color along with a very large scale, one color "drop cloth painting" from 1999. The new paintings mark a return to color for Fisher's work as color veils and areas of free, colorful painting mark a surface which has its beginnings as a black and white painting on the verso. As the canvas itself acts as a veil for the black and white painting showing through from it's back, the color acts likewise for the surface of the canvas. Craig Fisher's process orientation delivers a strange, almost anti-compositional result. The purpose is to prioritize change and movement on, around and through the paintings surface.

As Maurice Fréchuret (Director of the CAPC Museum, Bordeaux, France) writes, "For Craig Fisher, the space of the canvas cannot be defined in an unequivocal way. Rather, it is simultaneously a surface on which his artistic ends are rigorously and confidently forged, and an area which still reveals his various experimentations the traces of hesitation and uncertainty which presided over the paintings concrete development." With these new paintings, Fisher gives himself over to the flux created by the movement between the determined and the undetermined. Good intentions fly out the window and the viewer is left with a crazy rhythm and a voyage through all the spaces "in-between" the pictorial events. Craig Fisher has been exhibiting in New York since 1978 and exhibits regularly in Germany and France as well as other European Countries. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 to 6:00 p.m.. For further information and photographic material please contact the gallery at 212-924-3290.
