Gareth Fisher RSA b. 1951
Gareth Fisher RSA is an artist renowned for his work in sculpture, construction and watercolour painting.
Fisher tends to work in plaster but also makes constructions with wood and stone as well as sometimes casting in bronze. The act of construction is significant in Fisher's practice, and the combination of solid form and construction comes together increasingly his more recent watercolour studies. In both his early and more recent work, Fisher combines realism with abstract motifs.
