Eric Fischl: Bathers

Vortic and Victoria Miro present an exhibition of new work by American artist Eric Fischl created as part of Vortic Artists Projects.

“Bathers” is Eric Fischl’s first exhibition at Victoria Miro Venice and brings together five large-scale, hand-painted bronze sculptures derived from virtual paintings.

A programme of collaborations between the digital producer Vortic and a guest creator, Artists Projects reconsiders traditional modes of creation through technology. Each project is a unique collaboration – a standalone exploration and expansion of an individual’s practice. With access to state-of-the-art technology, from mixed reality to CGI and AI, participating artists are able to experiment in an alternate medium, creating new works entirely or re-envisioning existing motifs in a digital environment. Eric Fischl’s creative collaboration with Vortic began in 2022 and is the first time the artist has worked with virtual reality.
