KiS – Contemporary Art in Seefeld 

Exhibition Eric Fischl "Anchored in Transience" at KIS

The suburbs of Long Island form the starting point for Eric Fischl's painting. His works depict everyday scenes and situations and deal with the tension between the visible and what lies behind it. In this context, Fischl addresses social relationships, personal experiences, and the contradictions of American life. 

Eric Fischl is an internationally recognized American painter and sculptor. His works are represented in many renowned museums worldwide and have been featured in over a thousand publications. His extraordinary achievements throughout his career have made him one of the most influential figurative painters of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Fischl was born in 1948 in New York City and grew up in the suburbs of Long Island. His artistic education began in Phoenix, Arizona. He attended Phoenix College and earned his B.F.A. at the California Institute for the Arts in 1972. In 1974, he moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to teach painting at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Fischl had his first solo exhibition in 1975, curated by Bruce W. Ferguson, at the Dalhousie Art Gallery in Nova Scotia, before moving to New York City in 1978.
