francesca fuchs

Born in London and raised in Münster, Germany, Francesca Fuchs moved to Houston in 1996 as a fellow for the Core Program at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Throughout her nearly 30-year career in Houston and internationally, Fuchs has been thinking about the significance of everyday objects insisting that they illuminate foundational truths about ourselves, our communities, and our histories. Her paintings hone an extended, reflective process of reworking that is engaged in the deeply personal and envisions the power objects hold.

Solo exhibitions of Fuchs’ work have been featured at The Menil Collection; The Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston; The Suburban, Illinois; The Art Museum of Southeast Texas; and Filet, London. Fuchs' work has been included in exhibitions organized by The ICA, London; The Whitechapel Art Gallery, London; The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth; and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. She has attended residencies at MacDowell and La Maison Dora Maar and was awarded Art League Houston’s 2018 Texas Artist of the Year Award. Fuchs currently works in Houston, where she lives with her dog, her cat and seven plants.
