Urs Fischer

The reading that I selected was from Vitamin 3-D, and it was about the artist Urs Fischer. Urs Fischer usually sculpts things to be out of proportion with size or out of proportion with reality. Very similar to what happens in the Alice in Wonderland series. His theory is that he doesn't create new things, but instead  he further develops whats around him. This artist's goal is to make the viewer stop and question reality for a second.  The typical viewer would think, "Oh I didn't notice that at first, or I never thought I would have seen that before." Usually its takes the viewers a good couple of seconds to notice whats out of proportion; making viewers like the surprise/anticipation feel. Going through one of his art galleries would be fun because everything is wacky, and it causes his viewers imaginations to go wild.. The author of the writing mainly focused on his artworks and his theory. I was disappointed at times because the author would go into great detail about a really interesting sculpture, and not include a picture of it. The author described the top image I included, but there was no picture in the book of it. The author explained his style and how it was to be interpreted. But the author didn't really give any other background information about the artist. Overall, I think the author did a good job explaining what Urs Fischer's art style and what the artist's theory is all about.
