"Stephen Fishwick paints the way some people breathewith instinct, rhythm, and an unspoken urgency to translate feeling into form. His work is born from movement rather than deliberation, a synthesis of music, color, and gesture that feels more like performance than process. What he captures is not a single moment, but the sensation of many moments collidingthe way sound becomes light, and emotion becomes visible."
"Fishwick's origins are rooted in empathy and wonder. Raised on a farm in Ohio, he first learned the quiet language of animals, a reverence that would shape his creative voice. His early training at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and later at the Watts Atelier of the Arts sharpened his craft, grounding his electric spontaneity in the discipline of the mastersSargent, Rockwell, Dali, and Leyendecker among them."
Stephen Fishwick transforms music, movement, and spontaneous gesture into vibrant live-painted works that feel performative and emotionally charged. His paintings arise from instinct and rhythm rather than premeditation, capturing the sensation of multiple moments colliding where sound becomes light and emotion visible. Over two decades he blended classical portraiture discipline with improvisational performance, producing work both timeless and immediate. Raised on an Ohio farm, early reverence for animals and training at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and Watts Atelier grounded his electric spontaneity. In his Art Attack performances, blank canvases are turned into iconic portraits and wildlife within minutes, igniting audience creativity.
