This elegant, translucent multiform is part of Beverly Fishman’s series of Dividose paintings, which deploys a geometric visual alphabet abstracted from pharmaceutical forms. For Fishman, this work raises questions about the chemical sublime, and similarities between humanity’s relationship with art and its relationship with medicine. This abstracted depression pill is divided into four sections. The fourth section is enlarged and extends outward from the rest—its inside carved out to create a glowing void. Fishman calls the empty spaces in her works “missing doses,” a reference to the people’s habit of skipping a dose of their medicine, sometimes by choice, other times out of economic necessity. Within the painting the void creates an opportunity for reflected color to project onto the wall, illuminating the emptiness. This gesture brings to mind the philosophies embraced by Light and Space artists. In the space of a missed dose, contemplation and even transcendence becomes possible.
