Fishe

Art Brokerage: Fishe American Artist: Fishe began his trajectory as a visual artist on the streets of Los Angeles in the early 1990's as a graffiti writer. With over 25 years experience in graffiti, he has become a notable figure within the graffiti community. Although he continues to work in many mediums some of his most notable works continue to be the large scale murals he creates, as well as his own style of post graffiti landscapes. His work off of the walls draws from a diverse set of visual influences blending them cohesively into his current working style. Fishe's style is influenced by a diverse set of ideas as well as visual motifs. He considers his work to be in the realm of post graffiti. He draws equal influence from his past street work as he does from his experimentation with entheogens and his meditation practice. Fusing his visions with elements of the urban landscape he is able to bring the raw aesthetic elements from his graffiti experience and organically blends them with op art, geometry, and sacred symbols into a new dynamic visual lexicon. The work speaks to both the outer reality of the urban life as well as the subconscious elements from his inner journeys. He uses aerosol paints and graffiti markers as his preferred medium in creating his surreal landscapes. The materials connect his present work with his life long use of these graffiti tools that are often not considered part of traditional fine art painting. Listings wanted.
