Berta Fischer Exhibition
James Fuentes LLC
This event has ended.
James Fuentes presents exhibition by Berlin based artist Berta Fischer (Born Dusseldorf, 1973).
Having used Plexiglas as a primary material for over a decade, Fischer’s sculptural work stands testimony to a sublime post-industrial dialectic. Assembled and cut permutations of geometric forms create oscillating effects through the movement of dynamic refractions within and around the work. Other panels have been put though a furnace, which allows the artist to fold and form her subject in a process akin to origami. These compositions, however, are defined in a matter of minutes. Another inherent quality of the material is its transparency, which allows for an almost absolute reduction of form and an illusory absence of mass.
In line with the Abstraction-Création movement, in particular the works of Georges Vantongerloo and Naum Gabo, Fischer’s work, while a continuation of such history, encapsulates and marries the history of abstraction to a unique and unlikely industrialized partner.
