Artist Biography
Jeremy Fish hails from a graphic design background; his projects with Nike and rap artist Aesop Rock have lead to heightened visibility, while partnerships with Upper Playground and 5024sf (San Francisco, CA) have allotted for his recognition in the contemporary art sphere. Bridging the gap between popular conceptions of "high" vs. "low" art, much like peers Mark Ryden, Ryan McGuinness and Barry McGee, Fish's Orwellian-influenced acrylic paintings and carved wood statues have garnered exposure internationally – from Mexico City to Zurich. His fascination with an industrial existence and its relationship to the human condition creates accessible and collectively biographical environments, many of which toe the line between affectionately sentimental and abstractly harrowing.
A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, Jeremy Fish (born 1974, Albany, NY) received his BFA in 1998, and has exhibited in Mexico City, San Francisco, New York, Laguna Beach, Milan, Zurich, Tokyo, Munich, and Los Angeles. He has shown in collectives and group shows throughout the world, including Switzerland, Japan and Germany, and has participated in a number of self-developed international "Mobile Art Tours." In 2014, he will have a solo exhibition with Mark Moore Gallery, as well as Circuit 12 in Dallas (TX). His work is featured in the permanent collection of the Laguna Art Museum (CA).
