Gerald Lovell, Kenrick McFarlane, Simon MartinGalerie Peter Kilchmann, Rämistrasse, Zurich
8 Apr - 28 May 2022 Everything I do has an underlying political question - the title of the exhibition is both a statement and a question: does everything have to be interpreted politically?

Border Barriers TypologyGalerie Peter Kilchmann, Rämistrasse, Zurich
16 Oct - 22 Dec 2021 The politically complex dimension of the subject of Border BarriersTypology is translated in Alÿs' work into a simple straightforwardness that finds its formal equivalent in the presentation in the exhibition space: at eye level, the paintings positioned evenly on the wall form a calm line of monochrome, earthy brown tones...

Valérie Favre
Bateaux des poètesGalerie Peter Kilchmann, Zahnradstrasse, Zurich
11 Jun - 24 Jul 2021 For Favre, painting is a language of its own that initiates a dialogue of imagination and visual sensations with the viewer.

Andriu Deplazes
Fluoresce, Galerie Peter Kilchmann, Zahnradstrasse, Zurich 6 Mar - 9 Apr 2020 Deplazes’ paintings create a kind of parallel cosmos that questions the habitual ways of seeing and expectations of the beholder.

With Fluoreszieren Deplazes... Read more -

The Category IsGalerie Peter Kilchmann, Zahnradstrasse, Zurich
8 Mar - 4 May 2019 Widely divergent in technique, format and motif, the themes and subjects of both series originate outside of the accepted artistic production: documentary photograph and textile design.

Uwe Wittwer
Im WaldeGalerie Peter Kilchmann, Zahnradstrasse, Zurich
12 Jan - 23 Feb 2019 Wittwer’s works examine the medium of painting in all its complexity but draw no hierarchical limits between oil paintings and watercolors. His subject matter follows an aesthetic logic: with technical perfection it is rendered strange, deconstructed or overlaid with parallel subjects and thus often deprived of its original meaning. The... Read more -
