Der Ausstellungskatalog bietet einen
intimen Blick auf die Schweizer Gegenwartskünstlerin Silvia Gertsch und
ihr beeindruckendes Werk. Durch die Augen langjähriger
Wegbegleiter/-innen offenbart sich die persönliche und künstlerische
Entwicklung Gertschs, die in der jahrhundertealten Technik der
Hinterglasmalerei ihr bevorzugtes Medium gefunden hat. In ihren
Malereien setzt sich Gertsch mit Gegensätzlichkeit wie der pulsierenden
Stadt oder der in sich ruhenden Natur auseinander und nimmt die
Gesellschaft kritisch in den Blick. Farbe und Hell-Dunkel-Kontraste
faszinieren die Künstlerin; der Bildträger Glas ermöglicht es ihr, Licht
und Schatten zu akzentuieren. Ihre Werke zeigen Emotionen und
zwischenmenschliche Interaktionen, in einer von visuellen und
akustischen Einflüssen übersättigten Welt.


  • Reverse glass painting as a critical mirror of contemporary society
  • First-time presentation of the new series of works Golden Light

The exhibition catalogue provides an
intimate view of the Swiss contemporary artist Silvia Gertsch and her
impressive oeuvre. The personal and artistic development of Gertsch, who
found her preferred medium in the centuries-old technique of reverse
glass painting, is revealed through the eyes of companions of many
years. In her paintings, Gertsch examines dichotomies like that of the
vibrant city or serene nature and takes a critical look at society.
Color and light-dark contrasts fascinate the artist; the picture carrier
enables her to accentuate light and shadow. Her works show emotions and
interpersonal interactions, in a world supersaturated with visual and
acoustic effects.
