Ochi Projects is pleased to announce Matthew F Fisher: Seas, the artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Compact in scale, each painting depicts the shore, a continuation of an ongoing body of work. As water meets land or sand or doesn’t, Fisher occasionally proffers a seashell, a reflection, grass, celestial bodies, or atmospheric conditions—but nothing happens and that is the point. Is it possible to make a painting about nothing? Like a paradoxical riddle, Fisher’s paintings allude to the inadequacy of logical reasoning in relation to memory—two nearly identical paintings of waves are titled Freedom of Emptiness and History of Books (both 2021).
