Abstractions, features the artwork of Barbara Fisher, Robert Winker and Pat Zalisko

Barbara Fisher is a remarkably transformative painter; this is what drives her as an artist.  The workis a visual investigation, a continual inquiry into the way things work, filtered through the artist’s eyes, mind and subconscious.

Untitled Spiral by Robert Winkler, Oak, steel, stain and clearcoat, 23″ x 26″ x 18″

Robert Winkler builds upon an idea, using volume and balance to explore the contrast  between light and shadow, gravity and levity.  Without using one curved line, Winkler creates dynamic sculptures that twist and wind into spirals. The force of their serpentine forms move the viewer around the piece, following every potential path created by his work.

Pat Zalisko’s vibrant works are dense with the visual language of form, color and line. The artist’s abstract works on canvas combine paint and mixed media to create unique representations of ideas not linked to the

visual world.   This link to personal understanding is what

makes Zalisko’s art specific and special to each who experiences it.

A portion of Artetude’s proceeds is donated to the SECU Mission Cancer Center in Asheville.  Hours: Tuesday-Thursday, 10am to 6pm, Friday and Saturday 10am-7pm, Sunday 12-6pm.
