Opening Reception : Wed 4 March 2026, 6:00 - 8:30pm

Pfister’s paintings examine the tension between order and chaos within complex natural systems. Built through instinctive accumulation, each work develops through dense layers of colour, mark, and form until coherent structures emerge from apparent disorder. Influenced by fractal patterns found in nature, the paintings operate across multiple visual scales, encouraging the viewer to shift between microscopic detail and expansive, cosmic fields.

Rather than pursuing symmetry or reduction, Pfister embraces irregularity, variation, and density as fundamental aesthetic principles. Archetypal forms—faces, organisms, and ambiguous figures—surface and dissolve, reflecting the psychological and biological forces that shape perception. The works reward sustained attention, revealing internal rhythms that resist immediate resolution.

Pfister is a contemporary painter working primarily in acrylic. His work has been recognised through exhibitions and awards, including selection as a finalist in the Fluid Abstract Art Competition at Blue Koi Gallery (2025), and is held in private collections across Australia, the United States, Canada, Germany, Malaysia, and Scotland. He lives and works in Australia.
