Bio

LM FISCHER
(he/him)
Denver, born 1983

An artist and educator both, LM Fischer was born in 1983 in New York City and has been creating since he was a small child. In 1996, he acquired his first computer and began creating digital art soon after. LM holds a BFA from PRATT INSTITUTE, an MLS FROM QUEENS COLLEGE OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, and is currently BOTH A FULL TIME INSTRUCTIONAL LIBRARIAN & ADJUNCT FACULTY FOR THE MEDIA ARTS DEPARTMENT at FRONT RANGE COMMUNITY COLLEGE in WESTMINSTER, CO. 

In his artistic life since graduating from pratt institute in 2006, LM specializes in digital painting, graphic works and photo-bashing. Most recently, this has been done in combination with advanced proprietary large language models, where the artwork is put together by the artist and then passed to the computer, back and forth with edits at each stage of creation, until a final version is realized by the artist.

As a trans, queer creator, LM plays with the concept of emotions and escape in many of his works. He uses both minimalism and surrealism to highlight the sensation of aloneness. These works are in mostly enclosed environments that seem warm, almost comforting and yet they are devoid of life, full of strange and impossible architecture. LM usually features pools of water in his art, as they are often considered a portal, reflecting both a life in the margins, transition and death. LM Fischer expresses his own alienation within these imagined places that are full of melancholy; the isolation of the creative process and of himself.
