Nicolas De Crécy (FR) The magic of strokes 12_KUNSTMUSEUM LUZERN |
|
|
De Crécy manages to attract with both his filigree strokes and his opulent picture compositions. The way he uses feather and brush is just magic and can’t possibly be categorised or given a certain style. A unique world on the edge of grotesque. A detailed exhibition will show his latest album and also a retrospect.

 blanquet Disturbing Diversity 07_HOTEL LÖWENGRABEN www.blanquet.com |
|
|
Blanquet takes us hostage in his precipice labyrinth and at the same time shows us the diversity of his universe. Very few artists can transform man’s sub-conscience and madness into such beautifully horrible pictures. Blanquet causes the blood to freeze in the veins of his observers and paralyses them with his unlimited openness.

Kramers Ergot (US) The future of American comics 12_Kunstmuseum Luzern www.kramersergot.com |
|
|
Kramers Ergot has developed (in a short period of time), into one of “the” most influential comic-anthologies around. The magazine impresses with a kaleidoscope-like fill of the latest flows, in both graphic and content. One thing that all artists involved with the anthology have in common is the technically experimental way in which they tell their stories.

 Richard McGuire (US) Reduced to the core 12_KUNSTMUSEUM LUZERN |
|
|
Richard McGuire’s style is pure reduction. Appearing formal at first, his stories are actually of high intellectual content. He plays with different times and picture codes, twisting them altogether, forcing the observer to pay attention. What appears to be simple at first glance, suddenly becomes complex.

 Nicolas Mahler (AT) Artist in Residence 09_HOTEL SCHWEIZERHOF LUZERN www.mahlermuseum.at |
|
|
Nicolas Mahler has a feeling for the absurd. Even in situations (that we would consider- everyday happenings), he discovers the tragic side of human life. The contents and formalities are then distilled into a non-recognizable feeling of failure and vainness. In his own extremely odd way he reflects on life.

Peter Blegvad (GB) Imagined, Observed, Remembered 12_KUNSTMUSEUM LUZERN www.amateur.org.uk/ior/ior.htm |
|
|
Peter Blegvad believes: ”Every act of imagination requires a certain amount of memory loss.” What is man’s conception of reality and can he or she trust in it? Does our memory lie to us for a particular reason? Is this the beginning of creativity? Peter Blegvad attempts to provide answers to these questions in his astonishing pictures.
