Matthew and Katy Fischer's Disorienting Installation at Louis B. James Gallery
From March 24 to May 1, 2016, the Louis B. James gallery at 143b Orchard Street, New York, showcased the works of artists Matthew and Katy Fischer. Matthew's vibrant paintings, such as Paris, 1907 (2015), utilized bold colors to form abstract designs that challenged viewers' spatial awareness. In contrast, Katy's ceramics, particularly the Shards (2016) series, presented small-scale pieces that hinted at lost functions, merging familiar objects with imaginative geometric shapes. Together, their creations fostered a sense of inventive disorientation, with Matthew's artworks transforming the gallery's atmosphere and Katy's ceramics discouraging interaction. The installation emphasized the surreal nature of exhibition spaces, featuring ceramics on pedestals and in vitrines, reflecting modern urban waste. For inquiries, the exhibition's contact number was 212 533 4670.
