Craig Fisher
Florence Lynch Gallery, New York
In these new large-scale paintings, painted in the fall-winter of 2001-2002, one finds Mr. Fisher grappling with the difficulties of distracted and interrupted concentration. The informal and process orientation of his previous work proves to be a fertile ground...and the paintings become ever more anti-compositional and improvised.

In these new large-scale paintings, painted in the fall-winter of 2001-2002,
one finds Mr. Fisher grappling with the difficulties of distracted and
interrupted concentration. The informal and process orientation of his
previous work proves to be a fertile ground...and the paintings become ever
more anti-compositional and improvised. Somehow, through their continuous
movement and unexpected changes, the painting manage to hang together, to
find again what is fresh as well as intimate in painting.
As Barry Schwabsky writes for the catalog, "...It is this sense of absented
intentionality that leads me to believe that the underlying concern of the
paintings is the relation of the artist's intentions to the realm of
determinacy and indeterminacy (which is to say the realm in which intentions
are irrelevant). ...Craig seems, in these paintings, to be rummaging around
in the studio, spilling things, sopping up the mess, procrastinating by
trying out his new brushes, doing anything but having a solid go at
asserting his intention to make a painting- and somehow or other, at the end
of the day, there's a ravishing one anyway."
Reviews and articles have appeared in Art in America and Art & Auction,
Flash Art, The New York Times, Art Press and a catalog written by Maurice
Fréchuret, Director of the CAPC Museum in France, and Arte International in
Italy.
Since the last exposition at the end of 1999, Mr. Fisher has made solo shows
in Munich at Galerie Paal and in Paris at Galerie Corinne Caminade. Group
exhibitions include "Monochrome, Monochrome," curated by Lily Wei at
Florence Lynch Gallery, as well as expositions in the Musee de Soissons, and
the Musee Picasso in France.
