The paintings of Robert Fleisher are on display at 101/exhibit from March 13 - April 10, 2010. There is an opening reception with the artist on March 13. The self-taught painter, who resides in Miami Beach, creates microscopically detailed work using watercolor and oil. Meticulously rendered faces, hands, hair, buildings and textures in Fleisher’s paintings may for a moment be mistaken as ordinary representation. A closer look reveals that conventions of space, perspective, matter and gravity are broken at will.

Stream-of-consciousness associations abound in his work, and often present the viewer with a distinct sense of disorientation. Strange characters and odd juxtapositions make frequent appearances along with the ordinary visuals of the everyday. These strange combinations of textured content challenge the viewer to mine his or her own associations for meaning both in the paintings and in the worlds they encounter on the street and in their minds.

Signs, symbols and words often play a powerful role in his paintings. Billboards, advertisements and graffiti make frequent appearances. But again, Fleisher reads them his own way, revealing to us their oblique and hidden meanings.
