JON FISCHER is a San Francisco-based printmaker who uses loops, natural cycles, and sequences as both the subject and the physical form of his artwork. Raised in Pennsylvania by Israeli parents from Morocco and France, he earned degrees in bio-engineering and philosophy of science before learning to screen print with a garden hose and a sixty-watt light bulb at CELLspace, the legendary San Francisco arts collective. He opened his first screen print studio in 2008, developing a technique that combines painting, photography, and drawing. Since then his practice has expanded to incorporate imprinting through sculpture, performance and video. His work has been exhibited across the country including San Francisco City Hall, Vanderbilt University, White Stone Gallery in Philadelphia, and Kala Art Institute.
