DISCOVER ARTIST MILDRED FISCHER (1907–2000)

Sometimes an artwork becomes even more interesting when you discover the story behind the artist who made it.

Meet Mildred Fischer, an American artist, designer and educator who spent her career exploring what could happen when the traditional boundaries between weaving, fibre, paper and fine art were pushed aside.

Already an accomplished textile artist, Fischer began experimenting with handmade paper in the late 1950s. Her fascination eventually took her to Japan, where she studied traditional Japanese papermaking with master papermaker Eishiro Abe.

She returned with ideas that would help transform her work.
Rather than treating paper simply as the surface on which art was created, Fischer made the paper itself part of the artwork — combining fibres, threads, woven elements, colour and handmade paper into highly tactile compositions.

And that brings us to this piece.
MARDI GRAS | 1978

Created during an important period in Fischer's career, Mardi Gras combines woven fibre with handmade paper in a small but wonderfully energetic composition.

Perhaps most interestingly, 1978 was also the year Fischer's handmade papers and woven textiles were featured in an exhibition at Cincinnati's Contemporary Arts Center.

More than four decades later, Mardi Gras has found its way from a private Toronto collection to Wall Fiction and is now looking for its next wall.
Because sometimes the story behind the art is almost as interesting as the art itself.

ART WITH A STORY | MEET PAUL KELLY

What happens when an artist spends more than 50 years exploring colour?

You get a body of work that never stops evolving.

Canadian artist Paul Kelly has spent his career as a designer, painter and educator moving from atmospheric Canadian landscapes and the human figure toward the bold, energetic abstractions that characterize his mature work.

But there has always been one constant: Colour.

Kelly doesn't simply use colour to describe something. He explores what colour itself can do: how colours interact, create movement, establish balance and completely change the way we experience a painting.

His background in graphic design brings structure and precision to the work, while decades spent painting give it energy, texture and spontaneity.

Wall Fiction is thrilled to feature several works from this later period of Kelly's career, including Prelude (2019) and Exuberant (2022).

And while there is plenty to discover about the artist and his remarkable career, you don't need an art history degree to enjoy them.

Sometimes choosing art really can be this simple:
Does it make you stop?
Does it make you feel something?
Would you love seeing it on your wall every day?
If the answer is yes, that's a pretty good place to start.

SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL IS COMING TO WALL FICTION…

Not one.
Not two.
But three David Blackwood prints.
And together, they tell an incredible story.

Coming soon:

🖼️ Molly Glover on Bragg's Island — 1997
🖼️ Gull Rock Breaking — 2001
🖼️ Granda Glover's Place on Bragg's Island — 2002

If you've been following our Meet the Artist series, you'll know that David Blackwood wasn't simply a printmaker.

He was a storyteller.

And two of these works take us directly into his own family story.
Bragg's Island in Newfoundland's Bonavista Bay was home to Blackwood's maternal grandparents and a place that became deeply connected to his childhood memories.

The Molly in Molly Glover on Bragg's Island?
That's David Blackwood's mother.
And the “Granda Glover” behind Granda Glover's Place on Bragg's Island?
His maternal grandfather.
Then there is Gull Rock Breaking where the artist brings us back to the sea and rugged Newfoundland landscape that appear again and again throughout Blackwood's extraordinary body of work.

Three prints.
Three stories.
And three opportunities to own a piece of David Blackwood's remarkable visual history.

We can't wait to show them to you.

COMING SOON TO WALL FICTION.

BEFORE PHOTOSHOP, THERE WAS JERRY UELSMANN. 📷

Seriously.

Take a look at a Jerry Uelsmann photograph and it's easy to assume you're looking at digital manipulation.

You're not.

Jerry N. Uelsmann (1934–2022) was creating extraordinary surreal photographs in the darkroom decades before Photoshop existed.

His setup famously included multiple enlargers. He would combine elements from different negatives of landscapes, trees, buildings, bodies, hands, water, clouds to construct a single photographic print of a world that had never actually existed.

And he did it all by hand.

The results can be beautiful, strange, dreamlike and occasionally unsettling.
They're also technically extraordinary.

Uelsmann became nationally recognized after a solo exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1967. Today, his photographs are held in major museum collections, including MoMA and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

But here's what we love most: Once you stop thinking about how he did it, you start getting lost in what he created.

And perhaps that's the real magic.

We are excited to welcome two vintage photograph prints by Jerry Uelsmann for purchase at Wall Fiction. https://wallfiction.com/collections/fine-art/photographs

Come take a closer look. We think you're going to want to look twice.
