About

Alex Fischer (b. 1986) is a Canadian artist based in Toronto whose practice bridges painting and computational imaging. Raised between early home-computer culture and the forests of rural Ontario, Fischer developed a vocabulary that entwines organic tactility with digital construction. After completing a BFA (Honours) at York University in 2010, Fischer’s work began circulating internationally, with projects and exhibitions in Toronto, Dublin, Beijing, Harbin, and Shanghai. Recent highlights include Ejected Bodies (NAMARA Projects, 2025), Non-Natural (Sage Culture, 2024), and Portal (Dublin, 2023). Earlier exhibitions at Circuit Gallery, Angell Gallery, and Prefix ICA mapped the evolution of a practice that treats the image as an experiential habitat rather than a surface to decode.

Working fluidly across large-scale paintings, archival pigment prints, and hybrid installations, Fischer favours processes that remain irreducible to a single signature. Assisted algorithms are used not as novelties but as collaborators that extend intuition beyond human muscle memory. The ambition is constant: to generate visual events that resist easy patterning, reward sustained encounter, and demonstrate that unlikely combinations can still crystallise into experiences that feel both grounded and new.
