Anne-Marie Fischer Swiss/French, b. 1963

Anne-Marie Fischer’s works are characterized by a clear, abstract visual language featuring geometric and spatial compositions that tend increasingly toward the organic. Her visual vocabulary is distinguished by a haptic use of color and reduced forms. Although shapes in Fischer’s work are boldly defined, there is also a tendency toward blurring and imperfect geometry. Whether executed in two or three dimensions, Fischer’s work explores the interactions between figure and ground, surface and space, mass and lightness, movement and calm. In her compositions, Fischer uses a range of materials including paint, ink, and collage fragments, which she reworks in various ways. Coincidence and intuition play a central role in the process of reduction and contribute to her minimal aesthetic. 

Anne-Marie Fischer is a Swiss artist who lives and works in Zurich. She was born in Paris and studied architecture at the ETH Zurich and art history at the University of Zurich. After completing her MSc in Architecture at ETH Zurich, Fischer worked as an architect for 20 years before deciding to pursue a full-time career as a visual artist. Fischer works across a variety of media, such as painting, printmaking, collage, sculpture, and relief. Her projects also include space-related wall paintings and site-specific installations for both interior and exterior spaces. Alongside her practice, Fischer taught at the “Haus der Farbe,” a school for color designers.
