High Viscosity

Categories:

DegreeArt are delighted to announce Laura Fishman’s inaugural solo exhibition and residency ‘High Viscosity’.

Viscosity describes a fluid's resistance to flow, in this case, paint.

Laura’s artistic vision is to connect with the viewer through the language of colour and paint, and to convey her experiences. Her abstract canvases use glaze painting techniques, dripped and poured - full of energy and glowing with colour. With a deeply intuitive approach, opaque and translucent layers of paint are worked until the results produce surfaces that are beautifully textured, sublimely multicoloured and visually engaging.

During the residency at DegreeArt Laura will transform the gallery space with three dimensional paintings, installation, video and sculpture. The exhibition will link the various surfaces and features, both literally and figuratively, creating a dynamic relationship with the viewer. Emphasis will be put on the work's physicality and materiality, and the process of allowing the materials to find their own form and the creative possibilities.

Laura will also be collaborating with a designer Dervin Batarlo to produce a hybrid fashion piece that will hang from the ceiling. The residency will also feature a HD Video, directed by Amnon Ron, which will present a microscopic scene, revealing a close up of the impact of raw materials on liquids in various viscosities. The resulting images present a gripping, vivid world, which the human eye cannot normally see, and can only define as abstract.

Laura graduated from the State University of New York with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (cum laude) in Painting, where she studied figurative and abstract painting. She continued her studies in textile design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and earned her MA Fine Art at Middlesex University in London. Laura is founder of Creative Drawing Studio in North London and a certified GOLDEN Artist Educator.
