About

Alex Fischer is a Canadian artist whose practice bridges painting and digital media, bringing together sensibilities of material craft and computational experimentation. Fischer’s early exposure to both software and rural landscapes continues to shape their visual language, which interlaces human and nonhuman perspectives in ways that mirror the hybrid realities of contemporary life.

Much of what may be seen here exists as an original work or limited edition archival print. Works are available on an as-quoted basis or as listed on Artsy.net. Please e-mail for more information.

Since graduating with a BFA Honours from York University in 2010, Fischer has exhibited internationally, with projects spanning Toronto, Dublin, Beijing, Harbin, and Shanghai. Collaborations with Inuit artists such as 作为一只鸟 As a Bird with Saimaiyu Akesuk, Beijing (2023), and ᐃᒻᒪᕕᒻᒥ Upon the Sea 海上 with Qavavau Manumie, Shanghai (2021), highlight an interest in dialogue, translation, and the ethics of representation across cultural and technological thresholds.

Their work has been presented by institutions and galleries including NAMARA Projects, Sage Culture, Circuit Gallery @ Prefix Institute of Contemporary Art, and Angell Gallery. Recent projects include: Ejected Bodies, NAMARA Projects (2025); Non-Natural, Sage Culture (2024); Portal, Dublin (2023); Art Show, NAMARA Projects, Toronto (2022); 在司徒 In Situ, Harbin (2021); and Story Tree, Toronto (2020).
