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:

Jeremy Fish: Weathering the Storm

November 8, 2009 – January 17, 2010

Laguna Art Museum. Laguna Beach, California.

Jeremy Fish, San Francisco based artist has a show titled “The Ambush” at the Fecal Face Dot Gallery from February 26 – April 26, 2009. The video above shows mr.Fish laying out and painting the mural in the gallery. Massive. Very inspiring and cool work. Pale yellow trees the frame out a blue sky background. Thick black outlines and insane detail. Hopefully, I will be up in San Francisco for work next month and have the chance to swing by FFDG and tell those guys how much I dig their site. And to thank them for introducing me to so much good stuff. 

Respect and Shout to Dax for introducing me to Jeremy Fish’s work back at BGSU.
