Artist Statement

David Wischer’s work is heavily influenced by his personal observations of The Absurd. Social
media, advertising, digital communication, and nostalgia are current sources of that inspiration.
David uses printmaking, drawing, collage, installation art, and animation as a vehicle for the mixing and matching of incongruous images. Because these images are a fusion of personal
and appropriated imagery, viewers may understand part of the work and be confused by
others. This public and private information mirrors our own encounter with images in popular culture and mass media that we see everyday.
