Travis Fish
SET

Jupiter Contemporary is pleased to announce that it will expand to include to a new location steps away from its current space in the Normandy Isles neighborhood of Miami Beach, more than doubling its size and enabling the presentation of large-scale works and installations. For its inaugural presentation at this second location, Jupiter will present Set, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Travis Fish.

Fish’s practice is most simply described as one driven by fandom. A devout listener of the American hip hop trio Migos, he started out making portraits of its three members—Offset, Quavo, and Takeoff—in 2018. This became a repetitive and one might even say obsessive process: scouring social media fan pages and the internet for new images of the group, he would paint one member after the other on repeat. To do so, Fish works on the floor, bouncing across his canvases, rendering each member’s visage with the quick fluid movements of his extra wide brushstrokes in watered-down acrylic.
