PAST EXHIBITION ”IN TRANSITION”
STUDIO NAEGELI | GSTAAD, SWITZERLAND
August 28 - September 30, 2022
In the exhibition "In Transition" is the image of a moment in which at first glance nothing happens and at the same time everything is in motion. It is about a mystical transition between past and future; basically a unique state of true existence.

One matter flows into another, the boundaries merge between figuration and abstraction, between cultures and places, between nature, art and design.
At this group exhibition, diverse artistic positions and design objects will be shown. Many works show a reference to Gstaad and the canton of Bern, other artworks come from Paris, Colombia and Beirut.
In addition, we present selected design objects from the Röthlisberger collection.
The spectrum of artistic media on display is as broad as the artists' origins. From photography to sculptures made of marble and metal, from video art to oil painting, from concrete poetry to pigment prints and fine drawings.
Immediately upon entering the exhibition space, we encounter the filigree drawings of Bernese artist Filip Haag, in which subtle pencil strokes form endless landscapes. On a table are the design sketches of Antoine Orand from Paris for silk scarves of the men's collection 22/23 of the Hermès brand. They are joined by the conceptual poetic texts of Sebastian Winkler, a poet and artist from Bern.
The poetic harmony between art and the great outdoors is evident in the photographic series by artist Anna-Lena Winterberger, the video works by Adela Picón from Barcelona, and the handmade porcelain bowls by Julia Hoentzsch. They are joined by the object series "Extase" by Anthony Bannwart.
Another transition can be found in the oil paintings of Mario Volpe from clear architectural forms to abstract and emotional expression. This is also reflected in the intricately handmade sculptures made of marble and synthetic resin by the artist and design duo Pierre & Cédric Koukjian.

ST. FRANCIS GALLERY 2022 SPRING SHOW INVITATION:
The artwork is on display in a unique setting that is not a “neutral space” just to display art. To quote Alex Fein from Artspiel, when she reviewed Sam Spillman’s work she described it elegantly.
“It is something much less tangible than that… It is a constellation of ideas, artists, and objects that come together in a space that is never neutral”.
It becomes an exploration of the here and now at this moment in time, a total abstracted form. The space and the art become interconnected by many creative minds, including your own to distill a very real essence. The experience takes you from the inside out and from the outside in to connect you to a larger and embracing sense. This allows you to see and feel the creative energy and realize that “art is not static nor an unchanging object”, that it is shaped by the complexities of our perceptions unfolding and folding into new ideas and ways of seeing the world.
We invite you to come and enjoy this refreshing and uplifting experience.
