This site provides a comprehensive survey of the artist Rick Fisher’s prolific body of work in a wide range of media over five decades (1968 – present). It includes his pioneering environmental/counter-cultural earth castings, monumental solar-aligned public sculptures of recycled steel artifacts and concrete, gallery and museum installations, ceramic sculpture, bronzes, and illustrated publications. His conceptual directions explore cosmology, sacred geometry, visual/perceptual illusion, self-actualization, and formal stylistic developments throughout the history of art. Hundreds of two-dimensional works include drawings, paintings, prints, multi-media digital composites and photo-based installations.
Fisher’s work reflects a consuming interest in the power of art to expand consciousness and awareness, thereby enhancing the human experience. Motivated by this belief, he finds inspiration in the boundless variety of form and dynamic processes of the natural world. He is also fascinated by how we perceive and interpret form, at times creating works that challenge our perception in order to trigger surprise and open new channels of emotion and enlightenment.
