Louise Fishman — Tabernacle
Louise Fishman

Tabernacle

Louise Fishman's *Tabernacle* is a powerful oil on linen painting that embodies the artist's signature gestural abstraction, built up through bold, layered brushstrokes that convey both physical intensity and emotional depth. The work's rich, densely worked surface suggests a sense of sacred weight and ritual, evoking the spiritual resonance of its title through an interplay of color and mark-making. Fishman's commanding handling of paint reflects her deep engagement with the traditions of Abstract Expressionism while asserting a distinctly personal and feminist voice.
