Urs Fischer’s site-specific ceiling painting Good Luck Peanuts, 2024, is on permanent view at Palazzo Diedo – Berggruen Arts & Culture, in Venice.  Fischer’s installation was created for the ceiling of the movie theatre using various painting techniques, ranging from acrylic to enamel on sand, and from fresco to lime plaster. Playing on the visual illusion offered by the perception of plasticity, the textured brushstrokes on the frame, and the deep perspective of a clear-sky, Fischer’s work offers – with characteristic humour – a contemporary trompe l’oeil.
