  • Features work by two interesting Swiss artists, putting their different yet congenial styles in dialogue
Colour and light as sensory stimulus and the phenomenon of light encountering surfaces are core elements of the work of artists Silvia Gertsch, born in Switzerland in 1963, and the German Xerxes Ach, born in 1957. Gertsch works on reverse-glass, using snapshots of young people in summer, sunbathing, strolling down the street, or children absorbed in play. Ach has turned to micro-phenomena in which light encounters various materials, is refracted in various ways, and generates abstract visual compositions. In spite of their different stylistic languages - realism on the one side, abstract colour field painting on the other - occupying antagonistic positions in contemporary painting, the two artists take a similar approach, starting from photos they take themselves and digitally edit, as well as found ones recording fleeting visual stimuli.

Coinciding with a dual exhibition of Silvia Gertsch and Xerxes Ach at the Museum of Fine Arts Bern, this new book features their work from two decades. Richly illustrated, it puts their differing pictorial languages in a dance-like dialogue, revealing each artist's relation to current artistic discourses.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Farbe und Licht als Sinnesreize und Oberflächenphänomene sind die Hauptmerkmale in der Malerei der beiden Berner Künstler Silvia Gertsch und Xerxes Ach. Während Gertsch mit Hinterglasmalerei Schnappschüsse von jungen Menschen im Sommer, beim Schlendern auf der Strasse oder Kinder im selbstvergessenen Spiel zeigt, widmet sich Ach Mikrophänomenen, bei denen das Licht auf unterschiedliche Materialien trifft und sich dort auf verschiedenste Weise bricht. Obwohl von unterschiedlichen stilistischen Sprachen kommend, gehen beide Künstler zunächst von Fotografien aus, mit denen sie die vergänglichen Momente und flüchtigen visuellen Reize festhalten.Dieses neue Buch, das anlässlich einer Doppelausstellung der beiden Künstler im Kunstmuseum Bern erscheint, inszeniert die je unterschiedlichen Bildsprachen mit Werken der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte in einem tänzerischen Dialog. Dadurch wird auch der jeweilige Bezug von Silvia Gertsch und Xerxes Ach zu aktuellen Malereidiskursen sichtbar. Seller Inventory # 9783858814746
