Frieze 91 members are invited to join artist Timo Fahler for an exclusive Frieze 91 Private Tour of the artists studio. Fahler's work will be featured as part of the Frieze Los Angeles 2022 curated section, focus LA.
Focus LA, the section of the fair dedicated to galleries aged 15 years or younger will be curated by Amanda Hunt (Director of Public Programs & Creative Practice, Lucas Museum of Narrative Art) and feature 11 of the city’s defining young galleries.
Dividing his time between Amsterdam and Los Angeles, Timo Fahler works in a range of materials including stained-glass, hydrocal, and rebar. Fahler’s work explores themes such as identity, race, and immigration.The artist uses plaster, ceramics, steel, wood, and found objects to construct highly visual and culturally significant works. Combining formal elements of sculpture with references to his heritage, Fahler’s work explores ideas of use and reuse through casting and manipulating found objects and combining them with relics that relate to personal experiences. His restructuring of objects in a manner that indicates function and meaning while remaining abstract in form, invokes a bricoleurian practice, representative of a multi-cultural aesthetic.
