Craig Fisher's deceptively playful work is inspired by violence, disaster and it’s aftermath as viewed by Film, TV and the Media. By employing bright colours and a childlike sensibility in their creation, his sculptural installations and paintings question and challenge the seductive potency of such representation.
For his solo exhibition ‘Homemade Devices’ at Beach, London, Fisher presents new work inspired by the improvised explosive devices he found whilst trawling the Internet. In these pieces he explores the formal inventiveness and provisionality of such objects as well as their potent potential as objects of threat and danger. Ideas of cartoon violence are juxtaposed with decorative and ornamental motifs; the seductive nature and materiality of the artwork making it easy to miss the horror that lurks beneath.
