Mischa Fritsch
Mischa Fritsch (b. 1970) was born in South Africa to Austrian parents and moved to Munich, Germany when he was seven. His artistry was nurtured at the Waldorf School and he began to be interested in jewellery making. Fritsch later turned to creating on a larger scale, working with found materials and metals to create sculptures. He is also a printmaker and has held two exhibitions with David Krut Projects (2010 and 2013). He is currently based in Germany.
Mischa Fritsch (b. 1970) was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, to Austrian parents, pioneering expats from Vienna.At the age of seven his family relocated to Munich, Germany where he attended Waldorf School. Amongst other things, this environment exposed him to the various arts and crafts and encouraged his growing interest and emerging talent. The art of jewellery-making most inspired the young mind and he attempted his first pieces in his father’s dental laboratory with tools and machines quite similar to the ones he would much later be introduced to in the course of his formal studies. The art of jewellery-making later developed into a talent for projects on a larger scale, and Fritsch began experimenting with found materials and metals in the medium of sculpture.
Fritsch has, to date, had two solo exhibition with David Krut Projects, the first being held in Spring of 2010 as the first exhibition in the expanded gallery space. The second solo, Remote Projections, included sculptural, two-dimensional and video installation, and was showed at the gallery in January 2013 before moving to Franschoek as part of the annual literary festival.
