Colour becomes surface, forms an image, becomes tangible and ends in multi-perspective narrative moments. In the exhibition plot twist, 23 artists from the class of Favre provide insights into their works.

Different narratives come together and demonstrate the mutability of painting. The medium is revealed in all its complexity, creating contrasts that range from whispering to roaring tension.
Statement by the artists
The artists form and curate their own as well as borrowed plots, creating a mixture of motifs that are constantly linked anew in enigmatic or unpredictable conclusions.

In this exhibition, the Favre class offers viewers a pluralistic perspective on painting without ignoring the traditional topics of this medium itself.
