Rich Fischer

As an artist with a penchant for humor, Rich Fischer’s creative journey is like a rollercoaster ride on a banana peel—full of unexpected twists, turns, and the occasional pratfall. Each day in the studio is an adventure, where the canvas is his trusty sidekick and every brushstroke is a punchline waiting to land.

Rich sometimes likens himself to a comedian standing before an audience still finding their seats. In those moments of uncertainty, he remembers that even the best comedians bomb occasionally—and he embraces the unknown, throwing paint at the canvas both literally and figuratively to see what hilarity ensues. For Rich, art should make you giggle, grimace, or at least raise an eyebrow or two.

His inspirations range from the absurdities of everyday life to the peculiarities of human behavior. “Why did the chicken cross the road? Because that was the only way to get to my art show!” he jokes. Rich’s goal is to reflect the world around him, adding a generous dash of irony and a sprinkle of wit. He wants viewers to find joy and laughter in the unexpected—a surprise hidden in every corner of his work.
