Details

Louis Buhl & Co. is pleased to present a new series of sculptures by Beverly Fishman that combine abstract forms with mirrored surfaces to transform the spaces in which they appear. Fishman uses stainless steel as the sculptures’ foundations, employing the material to convey the sensational sleekness and seduction that is signature to her work. Unique, evocative colors are contained within sharp geometric forms, a combination that elicits a technologically mediated world of industrial hues and manufactured products. The pharmaceutical drugs that inspire the shapes of each sculpture are not readily apparent, but they can be gleaned through personal experience with the pills or hints from the respective titles. Created to draw and capture the eye, the works mimic the vigorous and persuasive tactics used by drug companies and their advertising agents. Suggested by the works, our dependence on prescription medicines—which can help or harm us depending on how they are used—points to a global dilemma that resonates on an ethical, social, and emotional level for the artist. It is by transforming the iconography of medicine and translating it into the realm of art that Fishman forces us to critically reflect on our own attraction to and dependence on Big Pharma.
