Lars Fisk's First Solo Show 'MR. SOFTEE' at Marlborough Chelsea Features Psychedelic Globes

exhibition · 2026-04-22

Lars Fisk presents his inaugural solo exhibition at Marlborough Chelsea, titled 'MR. SOFTEE,' running through October 15, 2016. The show features the artist's signature distorted globes, which transform everyday objects and scenes into psychedelic, spherical forms. These works include a cobblestone street with a manhole, a self-storage building facade, pencils, and a monumental floor-to-ceiling parking lot globe. Fisk's artistic approach draws visual parallels to M.C. Escher's 1935 lithograph 'Hand with Reflecting Sphere.' The exhibition is complemented by two additional presentations: a solo display by Joe Roberts in the viewing room and the group exhibition 'SMS SOS' upstairs, featuring text-based works by artists including Tony Matelli, Davina Semo, Aida Ruilova, and Devin Troy Strother. Fisk previously collaborated with Marlborough Chelsea on the 2014-2015 'Broadway Morey Boogie' installation along Broadway between 59th and 166th streets. His background includes stage design work for the jam band Phish. The gallery is located at 545 West 25th Street in New York City.
