Ceramic Break Sculpture Park is proud to present the work of internationally renowned artist Stuart Fisher. Stuart’s exhibition "Recollections of Reminiscence" opened on Sunday 28th March  The exhibition continues through April. This is his first solo show since he arrived in Australia in 2001.

Stuart Fisher is a cheeky 44 year old artist who grew up in Fife, then later in the Highlands of Scotland. In 1989 he completed a BA in Fine Art, Drawing and Painting at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art (Dundee) and then a Masters Degree at the renowned Royal College of Art (London). He has been exhibiting since 1987 and has had numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout the UK and Europe. He has lectured and taught art in both the UK and Australia and has gained many awards, including a four month studio scholarship in Paris, and the Farquar Reid travelling scholarship.

Life experiences play a large part in Stuart's art, his relentless pursuit of forms mediate between his terrors and desires. His recent works are in 'mixed media paintings and sculptures of metaphoric language colour and symbols.’ The tonal qualities of his colours are exceptional and his compositions are stunning.

With Stuart's exploration of the human condition and life experiences, he makes valid social comments. His reminiscence is humorous albeit at times dark and enigmatic. His job as an artist is done, he says, when the art is complete and then it is up to the viewers to interpret as they will.

Stuart says that one of his most rewarding experiences is working as an 'Art Therapist' using art to treat abused children. He claims that art helps children to communicate and helps them onto the road to acceptance, change, development and self identity. He has been helping these children since 1992. Stuart currently lives in Gilgai via Dorrigo. He is in his third year of study for a psychology degree at UNE and (of course!) is a full time working artist.
