You can set the current figure to fig1 with the following:

    figure(fig1.number)
    plot(...)

Alternatively, you can use the plot methods of a particular axes:

    fig1 = figure()
    ax1 = axes()
    fig2 = figure()
    ax2 = axes()

    ax1.plot(...)
    ax2.plot(...)

It works the same for subplots:

    fig1 = figure()
    ax11 = subplot(211)
    ax12 = subplot(212)
    fig2 = figure()
    ax21 = subplot(211)
    ax22 = subplot(212)
 
    ax12.plot(...)
    #etc
