The Milky Way poured gentle and white into space. Although we couldn’t see it yet, we knew the way things are: everything reflects everything, the stars above the stars below, the milk up there the milk down here. All of this was happening all the time while we wandered around in the fragility of the moment like leaves in the wind, the fine veins on their wrinkly brown surfaces still distinct against the light.

In his first solo exhibition with the gallery Spichtig, who was born in Lucerne, Switzerland in 1982, combines new paintings and sculptures. Shell becomes essence, attitude becomes form, the existentialist gesture is being adjusted in the digital age.
