The Ferleman Gallery is opening the Form + Function exhibit featuring works from Chuck Fisher and Mark Lester. The exhibit opens Friday, January 10th.
Chuck Fischer’s work operates at the nexus of spatial form and conceptual narrative, where each piece unfolds as an exploration of material transformation and visual syntax. His practice engages with layered forms and textures, merging intuitive design with a meticulous attention to detail. Through a dynamic interplay of structure, color, and medium, Fischer's creations transcend their physicality, inviting viewers into a realm of aesthetic resonance and interpretive fluidity.
Rooted in a dialogue between traditional craft and innovative expression, Fischer’s art redefines the boundaries of two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. His compositions pulse with rhythmic geometries and interwoven planes, cultivating a balance between chaos and order, spontaneity and precision. This synthesis underscores his ability to evoke both immediacy and timelessness, rendering his works as immersive environments that challenge and expand the parameters of contemporary artistic discourse.
Sculptural form by Mark Lester blur the boundaries between aesthetic expression and utility, embodying the essence of functional art. Its earthy, textured surface contrasts with the smooth, convex lenses embedded throughout, creating a compelling interplay between raw materiality and polished refinement. These reflective elements not only distort and capture light, engaging the viewer’s perception, but also hint at the object's dual existence as both a contemplative artwork and a functional piece.
The work’s contours evoke themes of containment and transformation, suggesting a purposeful design that transcends pure decoration. Lester’s piece invites interaction, serving not only as a meditation on the interplay of light, shadow, and texture but also as a functional object within the everyday. This duality underscores its place at the intersection of utility and artistry, demonstrating Lester’s ability to imbue practical forms with conceptual depth and sculptural elegance.
