Andi Fischer "Ta Ta ER LÜGT!

The painting of Andi Fischer (born 1987) moves between colorful immediacy and deliberate placement. Rather unusual in contemporary art, Andi Fischer works with oil pastels, which allow for highly opaque, color-intensive painting and give his pictures an unmistakable physicality - traces of material remain visible, the pictorial space becomes a gestural field of events. At first glance, his figures appear naïve and open, sometimes almost casual, and yet they are precisely constructed and carefully composed. With humor and irony, Andi Fischer creates an emotional closeness to his pictures and opens his works to art-historical reflections and painterly memories. Between drawing and painting, control and spontaneous gesture, Andi Fischer develops a contemporary figuration that renegotiates traditional themes and conventional pictorial logic. What seems easy turns out to be a precise, alert examination of the possibilities of our contemporary painting.
