Beverly Fishman is a multidisciplinary artist who has established herself as an important voice in the contemporary art world with provocative and visually striking works. Combining handmade techniques with industrial methods, she explores systems of perception and representation related to technology, science and biology. By addressing how people see and construct their bodies, minds and identities, she provokes constructive debate. A significant part of his work is concerned with the visual language of the medical-industrial complex. For example, in Pill reliefs, he takes pharmaceutical symbols as a basis and transforms them into colorful and abstract compositions. The Dividose paintings utilize the disturbing, multi-layered, linear aesthetics of EEG and ECG machines to create works that evoke visual and physiological responses in viewers.

Fishman has constantly sought new materials and processes to realize his vision. He uses traditional materials such as wood, paper, blown glass and aluminum, as well as unconventional elements such as cast resin, reflective Plexiglass and phosphorescent pigments. It also often uses materials that speak to the heritage of the Detroit region, such as chrome and urethane automotive paint. Since 1992, he has been an artist and chair of the painting department at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Detroit.
