This summer Gallery Bad Ems Modern hosts ‘The Choice’, artist Eliza Fisherman’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.
Following upon Fisherman’s recent Moscow show, ‘The Choice’, a series of new paintings and works on paper, that will expand upon her construction of psycho-geographies.
Through the controlled webbing of intricate abstractions, Fisherman builds upon her systems of existential bravery, which chart the path from external chaos to internal order.
‘The Choice’ demonstrates that to exist, is to be seen, and to be seen is to be judged. Following in the steps of constructivist realism Fisherman utilizes its form and color to design principles of resilience, showing how abstract psychological theory can be made into its own visual language.
In a post-privacy era, Fisherman asks us to step back and reexamine the angle at which we respond to the observable-self.
Fisherman’s work challenges the notion that judgment necessarily creates deformation and asks us instead to stay the course.

Though the path through darkness is necessarily solitary, those who’ve crossed it before us (writers, artists, musicians, but also our families, our friends) leave us their knowledge like lampposts, so we may best find our way back to the light.
