ABOUT JESSE FISCHER

b. 1996, lives and works in Tilburg, the Netherlands.

In his recent work, he explores the role of modern folklore in a time of rapid technological acceleration and cultural fragmentation. As people search for new forms of meaning, Fischer turns to archetypal imagery, rituals, and mythologies - both ancient and emerging.

His paintings draw from a wide range of sources: from old Dutch folktales and Sumerian sculpture to contemporary signs of spirituality, such as love locks on bridges, roadside memorials, and rituals found in various sadomasochistic scenes. These elements are woven into the structure and atmosphere of the modern city, where mystical experience hasn’t disappeared, but is instead taking on new and unexpected forms.

By combining historical and contemporary symbols, Fischer creates visual spaces that feel both timeless and rooted in the now - an evolving mythology for an age in search of depth. For him, painting is a form of thinking: a way to reimagine meaning in a fragmented world.
