Matthew Fisher "Lsot Time, Lsot Time, Lsot Time"
Heskin Contemporary
This event has ended.
In Matthew Fisher’s recent paintings, the artist once again incorporates witty, often symbolic objects (tokens of a prior occupation and forgotten military forces.) Obsolete treasures are stacked atop one another to create meaningless shrines to unknown recipients. At first the understanding of these totems is limited to their function: a cup is for drinking, a candle for light, a key for a door, etc. Rather, it is through their precise posting, conscience balance and deliberate centering do these utilitarian meanings become secondary to deeper context and narrative.
