Fischer's bed sculptures--signals of an alternate surrealist world--are sculptural pieces that appear to buckle under the pressure of an invisible force.
The problem paintings are vintage publicity headshots, colored and enlarged to a monumental scale then obstructed by silkscreened images such as a bolt or a banana, presenting a clash of representational systems
For his series of diminutive mirrored chrome-steel sculptures, highly detailed composite color photographs of objects including a ping-pong paddle, asparagus, a calculator, and a stress ball, all slightly enlarged from life, have been silkscreened onto the five mirrored planes (four sides and top) of each box.
An introduction by artist Adam McEwen will accompany the work.
