Video Of the Week – Fecal Face, Jeremy Fish Studio Visit.

Fecal Face, the San Francisco based art website, visits Jeremy Fish’s studio to check out his largest body of work to date – for his show Weathering The Storm. The video gives insight to mr.Fish’s process and inspiration for the collection. Which seems to be the storm that is the economic climate. The use of umbrellas and struggle against the storm are strong images – contrast to a usually upbeat Fish style. Still the anthropomorphic creations remind me of Richard Scarry’s humanized animal kingdom. Which is incredible, because anyone who can mix animals and juxtapose current world themes – is a rare talent. Which is why Jeremy Fish is one of my favorite artists.

Here are the details on the show. If you are in the Los Angeles or OC area, check out:
