Known for her big, bold abstract paintings, Louise Fishman’s work will be interjected among the massive Rubens paintings at the Ringling Museum of Art, thereby adding another layer of artistic texture to the Festival’s slate of performing arts. In May, Fishman finished up an exhibition at New York’s Cheim & Read Galleries. A review by The Brooklyn Rail highlights Fishman’s enjoyment in the process of creating art on canvas-repetitive layering of paint and then scraping it- suggesting perhaps that art is not just about the intended meaning of a piece but also about the process of creation.
While we are not all going to be the next-great-artist, we can appreciate art through study, observation and practice. This weekend, head over to your local art store and try creating your own art-it just may be in the process of creation that you find the mental and physical liberation you need after a long week at work.
