Daniel Fišer is a visual artist, born in Prague and based in London. His work explores borderlands between abstract and legible space, where spatial comprehensibility continuously falls apart and re-emerges.
Synthesizing his solid foundation in fine arts, long experience in architectural design and deep knowledge of digital tools, Daniel aims his explorations at territories on the threshold of spatial chaos where William Turner`s sky becomes indistinct, continuously searching for a presence of what Franz Kline defines as “unrelated to any entity but its own existence”, believing that “seeing is forgetting the name of the thing one sees” as per Paul Valéry.
Daniel was born in 1978 in former Czechoslovakia. Having received education in classical drawing and painting since early age, he started experimenting with digital tools amid the rise of 8-bit computer graphics in the late 80ies. During his university studies in the 90ies he focused on blending classical art processes with emerging digital engines of spatial generation and manipulation, applied both in realms of architectural environment and abstract space. After receiving his M.A. degree at Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, Daniel subsequently moved in 2004 to London in order to join studio of Zaha Hadid, where he currently works as an Associate on numerous architectural projects across the globe. Parallel to this he is steadily expanding his body of work as an artist, researching and developing methods of generation, manipulation and representation of abstract space through combination of classical fine art techniques and cutting edge digital technologies.
Resulting works are one-off pieces, presented as large-format UV ink prints mounted in bespoke LED light boxes and fitted with remote controller and dimmer. Limited edition chromogenic prints of the above one-off pieces are also available. Daniel`s works are held in private collections in London, Milan and Prague.
