Franz Gertsch: Woodcuts

This exhibition, which is dedicated to one of the major contemporary Swiss artists, concentrates on the works created during the last two decades and in particular on the monumental coloured woodcuts. While the artist achieves an unimagined convergence towards nature in his photorealist works, he frees himself from his model through translating it into the medium of the woodcut with its abstractive, monochrome colouring. In this way Franz Gertsch employs an old technique to explore completely novel means of expression.
