Fischl's early work thus became focused on the rift between what was experienced and what could not be said.
Fischl has always been a keen observer of the relationships between people, and between people and their surroundings.His suburban upbringing provided him with a backdrop of alcoholism and a country club culture obsessed with image over content. He made his reputation in the 1980's with large-scale figurative oil paintings depicting ambiguous, erotically charged scenarios set in the American suburbs.
