Picky Eater
2003
Urs Fischer's *Picky Eater* (2003) is a large-scale sculptural work constructed from polystyrene and polyurethane foam, coated with acrylic paint and spray enamel to create a vivid, tactile surface. The piece exemplifies Fischer's playful yet unsettling approach to materiality, transforming humble industrial materials into a monumental, almost cartoonish form. By combining everyday construction components with bold color and exaggerated scale, Fischer challenges the boundaries between the abject and the theatrical.
