TESSERAE: THE ART OF MOSAICS

Juror George F. Fishman

George Fishman has designed and executed mosaic commissions since 1989 for municipal, corporate, hospitality, religious and

residential clients -- identifying projects' thematic and functional requirements and implementing them from design to

installation. Projects include medallions, murals, columns, pools and fountains in eleven states.

He received a fine arts degree from the University of Pennsylvania and teaching certification from Colorado State University in

1976. His college studies included painting, sculpture, drawing, art history, ceramics and industrial arts.  His experience in

construction, aircraft welding and exhibition preparation provide strong technical orientation. His mastery of mosaic methods

comes principally from years of experimentation, beginning in the late 1980s, copying ancient mosaics. In recent years he has

also taken and presented workshops to deepen and share his skills. He has given historic, technical and design presentations at

professional conferences and to architecture students. Has served on several boards and helped start a non-profit arts organization

on Miami Beach in the mid 1980’s.

He was co-editor of Groutline (the Society of American Mosaic Artists’ newsletter) for five years; also has contributed to several

books and written articles for trade publications. Working in mosaics involves a continual effort to strike a balance between the

urge to elaborate with pictorial information and the urge to maintain an economy of expression, in which the tesserae keep their

rawness and independence from the illusion of representation. This tension is important to me. I want the viewer to look into the

picture, but remain aware of the surface.
