URS FISCHER
born 1973 in Zurich lives and works in Los Angeles and Zurich
Using a very broad range of materials, Urs Fischer tackles the classical genres – still life, portrait, nude, landscape – and emerges with sculptural forms reflecting the complexity of everyday existence. Thus his work oscillates between the seemingly beautiful and ugly, elegant and clumsy, fluent and over-elaborate.
