Gagosian will present new works by Urs Fischer, including large-scale triptychs made by hand using a digital substrate, then silkscreened onto aluminum panels. Evolving from the nine-part painting Sōtatsu (2018), exhibited earlier this year at Gagosian, New York, these transformational tableaux suggest a visual realm where reality and abstraction coexist.

Installation
Urs Fischer
Rose
Urs Fischer’s painting Rose (2024) is on view in the vitrine at Gagosian, rue de Ponthieu, Paris, as part of the artist’s exhibition Beauty at the rue de Castiglione gallery.
In 2010, Fischer began the Problem Paintings series, layering vivid screen-printed images of familiar objects and organic forms—from fixtures and fittings to fruits and vegetables—over precisely rendered enlargements of vintage Hollywood headshots. Rose belongs to this series and shows a glamorous screen actor wearing red lipstick, her face partially obscured by a luscious pink rose with a bright green stem and leaves. The juxtaposition enacts a playful conflict between clarity and secrecy, aesthetic experimentation and symbolic meaning. Evoking the cryptological messaging of Victorian floriography, Rose confronts the viewer with a mischievous, perhaps unsolvable visual conundrum.
