MATTHEW F FISHER WORK ON PAPER

Matthew F Fisher’s work exists in the space between the universal and personal. When one thinks of a crashing wave, rarely are they able to conjure an exact mental picture; rather, their memories act as approximations of what they have told themselves these forms look like. Fisher’s paintings exist within this memory-as-reality, semi-rational in their structure. Using the language of landscape painting as the middle ground between figuration and abstraction, Fisher simultaneously references past, present, and future. Fisher lives and works in New York, NY.

The Moon Face's East (Athens's Moon) was created by collaging drawing and found imagery. Each drawing is done on watercolor paper and then glued to a book page.
