Urs Fischer's LA-Inspired Paintings Debut at Gagosian Athens

Eugène Atget is the title of Urs Fischer's inaugural solo exhibition at Gagosian Athens. The showcase redefines the neoclassical space located at 22 Anapiron Polemou Street, immersing viewers in urban landscapes that reflect the sensation of navigating a modern world filled with figures, faces, graphics, and text. Fischer utilizes a blend of silkscreening, hand-painting, and stenciling to craft a collage-like style influenced by artists such as Robert Rauschenberg and Cady Noland. Through this approach, the artworks investigate themes of perception and representation, creatively reinterpreting well-known images and objects while merging reality with imagination using various materials and techniques.
