Kelly shares: “Memphis provides vibrancy, a sense community, and a soul that is deeply connected to the arts.”
About Kelly: Originally from Tennessee, Kelly Fischer has lived in Switzerland for the past thirty years. She maintains strong connections in both countries, spending equal time at her studios in Bern, Memphis, and Weehawken, NJ studios. Her paintings have been featured in numerous galleries and exhibitions, including Art Basel Miami, the Austrian Biennale, and the Venice Biennale. Aside from creating art, Kelly has published eleven children's books and is the former founder and headmaster of the English Montessori School of Bern.
Artist Statement: “I pursue shapes and colors. My semi abstract, expressionist portraits tell a story of whimsical spontaneity. Based on an underpainting, my art begins to emerge as color and texture are added layer by layer. The landscapes pull the viewer into a world of color, light, and emotion. My body of work has developed and evolved over time, with much of the outcome being driven by creative impulses.”

In your opinion, how does art enhance architecture, and vice versa?
”I most certainly do. Collaboration with all makes the best and most successful spaces.”
Do you believe that dialogue between architects, visual artists, and interior designers create the most holistic environments?
”I like to think of architecture as art with function; a place to work, live or play that is in and of itself art but with a working function. The function of a space or place that supports our work, home, health, and entertainment; sometimes all in the same space as the pandemic has shown, but just the same art with function. Architecture incorporates many layers, one of which is art in the non functional sense, art as art, just conveying beauty or inspiration. Architecture can frame a beautiful view with a window or forced orientation helping us see something that otherwise may go unnoticed, much like an artist calls our attention to something we may have overlooked or never noticed before. Art and Architecture can and should inspire on its own but also in concert with each other. Together is the most complete experience”.
“Art can complement or complete a space by adding a layer of interest, modifying, or changing the experience. Architecture, if done well, can provide a place to fully appreciate art.”
What is your philosophy of the interconnection of architecture and visual arts?
Can you share your thoughts about Kelly Fischer’s art?
Joe Wieronski, ANF Architect’s AIA Lead AP Partner, shares his views on architecture and visual arts as a creative fusion that interact and enhance one another:
“Kelly’s art is and expresses itself on many levels, much like architecture. Experiencing Kelly’s work inspires the imagination and thought, taking us to places seen and unseen. Her work stops us for a moment, to just appreciate and contemplate, very much like good architecture does.”
