Joshua Hogan’s painting Of Myths & Fairytales develops space that is surrealistic and otherworldly reminiscent of land or of sea. The wayfarer forms he creates inhabit spaces that are ancient and new. Kyle Ethan Fischer creates sculptures and works that could inhabit such a world with his chimera series. The chimera by definition is a mythical or fictional animal with parts taken from various animals, or to describe anything composed of very disparate parts. A chimera was found in 2006 in an ancient fossil, believed to be the missing link bridging life from land to sea, and called Tiktaalik. The name Tiktaalik is an Inuktitut word and received this name after a suggestion by Inuit elders of Canada's Nunavut Territory. Taking a detailed look at the internal head skeleton of the Tiktaalik research shows how Tiktaalik was gaining structures that could allow it to support itself on solid ground and breathe air, a key intermediate step in the transformation of the skull that accompanied the shift to life on land by our distant ancestors. Hogan & Fischer aim to present work at Most Wanted Fine Art that like the Tiktaalik bridge the gap of the viewer through paradigm shifting objects.
