Urs Fischer
Urs Fischer employs humor and the improbable to encourage serious philosophical discussions about painting and sculpture, wrapped in disarming clothing. The artist’s first exhibition at Fergus McCaffrey Tokyo is titled after the game Spot the Difference and in it timeless existential themes are cast in wax to be melted, while playful ideas are poured in bronze and made permanent.
A provocative and jovial spirit has animated Fischer’s work for three decades in investigating the dualities of high culture and kitsch, the timeless and the temporary, the mind and body, and truth and deception. His practice has confounded expectations, transcended existing classifications of contemporary art, and has attracted a large and devoted following amongst both expert and novice viewers.
