P.J FIDLER
"The Destruction of the Myth"
July 1-30, 2005


P-Jay Fidler's art is a narrative unfolding onto canvas.  The viewer is as important to the story as the painting itself.  Because his audience brings with them a major part of the story, the results are often surreal, ambiguous, and yet very much familiar. His work reflects a mixture of adolescent archetypes with dark psychological aspects of the human condition. These images, juxtaposed against his signature landscapes, combine to create a piece of art work that is truly awe inspiring and thought provoking, while leaving the audience with more insight and questions about the work as well as themselves.

Studying illustration at Art Center College of Design, Fidler learned to tell stories effectively through imagery.  Raised in a small farm community in central California, he was very influenced by his childhood surroundings.  With animal imagery, landscapes, religious iconography, combined with his love of Flemish paintings, vintage children's books and contemporary graphic design, he creates a non-linear storyline of Life, Love and Death that is disturbing yet beautiful.

Fidler lives and works in Los Angeles. His work can be seen in galleries and national publications and is an active member of the Broken Wrist Project. This is his first solo show at La Luz de Jesus Gallery.
