Drawing as a Verb


For this assignment, my library selections included three art/drawing books, Titled : Urs Fischer Phantom Painting,Concretos by David Batchelor & Van Gogh and the Olive Groves.

Urs Fischer's Phantom Painting revolutionizes our understanding of  perception, inviting viewers to reevaluate their relationship with reality through captivating distorted forms and surreal imagery, ultimately inspiring a fresh perspective on the human experience. Fischer's creations often evoke a sense of disorientation and elusiveness, rendering them difficult to fully comprehend. While they may come across as perplexing or hard to interpret, they nevertheless offer a pleasing experience for the mind and senses.

Urs Fischer's 'Forget Me' embodies a transformative style that fuses realism with fantastical elements, inspiring viewers to reexamine the dynamic interplay between memory and existence. Vibrant hues and textured layers evoke a sense of wonder, empowering observers to unravel the artwork's intricate meanings and tap into its emotional resonance.
