Matthew Fisher<\/a>\u2019s graphically pared down beach scenes at Shrine Gallery<\/a> are as carefully arranged as a store-front display, puffy clouds even resembling cut-out, stage-set backgrounds.\u00a0 Although the paintings suggest precise arrangements by an unseen hand, Fisher\u2019s perspective is shaped by the understanding that nature predates and will survive humanity.\u00a0 Here, \u2018The Subject of a Dream\u2019 features a dark void, presumably representing the earth, in which a fish and shell have been extracted from their natural context and offered as symbols for place.\u00a0 Floating in space and outlined in a white border that further sets them apart, Fisher\u2019s apparition makes the beach and its inhabitants strange, forcing a reevaluation of their existence in time and place. (On view in Tribeca through Aug 4th<\/sup>).<\/p>\n
