As seen posted below, Jeremy Fish will be showing at the Laguna Art Museum beginning November 8th in Laguna Beach, CA:

LAGUNA BEACH, CA - November 8, 2009 through January 17, 2010, Laguna Art Museum will feature a new installation by San Francisco-based artist Jeremy Fish.

This will be the first museum exhibition for Jer...emy Fish. He will use Laguna Art Museum's upstairs galleries to create an installation with symbols and characters that he has been developing over the last ten years.

"Weathering the Storm" is a timely exhibition that is largely about transformation and rebirth through struggle. Deliberately drawing from our own current economic and political events and its impact on us socially and emotionally, Fish's characters will reveal a narrative of evolution through struggle to obtain a more magnificent and resilient place. In this exhibition, Fish will create paintings with hand carved wood frames, three-dimensional figures for the gallery wall installation, and sculptures.

Fish's iconography generally consist of a fairy tale world inhabited by beavers, skulls, and birds which he has developed in part as a response to the influence that popular cultures, cartooning, and literature like the Brothers Grimm, has had on him. Additionally, Fish will create a limited edition print for the Museum.

Fish, who lives in San Francisco, was born in 1974 in Albany, New York, and has lived and worked in San Francisco fro the last 15 years.

Jeremy Fish: Weathering the Storm is curated by Grace Kook-Anderson, Curator of Exhibitions at Laguna Art Museum.Read More
