Craig Fisher
Thursday 12th Feb – Saturday 7th March
A major car crash has occurred – a head on collision. Skid marks are emblazoned across the floor, there is wreckage strewn everywhere and blood is splattered up the walls – glistening and fresh. You are being filmed by surveillance cameras, are you the victim or perpetrator? Spaces seem inaccessible, areas cordoned off by hazard tape… where are you? In a major disaster, crime scene or spoof horror film?
These are just some of the scenarios that Fisher explores in his drawings and sculptural installations which are seductive in nature and ask the viewer to question the representations of violence and disaster laid out before them.
This exhibition showcases an exciting collection of Fisher’s drawings, offering the viewer a rare insight into the integral role that drawing plays in how Fisher develops and realises his ambitious large-scale installations.
Plymouth College of Art Press have recently published a new publication of Craig Fisher’s work titled
Hazardous Materials.
Craig Fisher is an artist and Senior Lecturer at Nottingham Trent University.
