Chuck Fischer

Cerulean Arts Collective Member Chuck Fischer

Chuck Fischer’s Abstract Constructions break the plane of two-dimensional art. He creates textured and dimensional work that has been intricately hand cut and assembled from wood, aluminum, and copper then finished with colored gesso and modeling paste to bring the surface of the work into conversation with its maze-like depth. He recently started to incorporate trompe l’oeil painting in some of his work to fool the viewer as to what is real and what is painted. Visual mystery is created by hiding sections of the work behind textured geometric pieces or painted fabric to create a lively interplay between perception and deception. This visual complexity runs throughout his work, and he rarely sketches before starting a new piece, but trusts his intuition, life experiences, and the materials at hand to create works of spatial balance and harmony.
