Jean-Frédéric Schnyder
Bern celebrates the important Swiss artist Jean-Frédéric Schnyder with a hanging of the holdings in the collection of the Kunstmuseum Bern and a solo exhibition at the Kunsthalle Bern. For the exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Bern, the artist himself has made a selection of 68 earlier paintings and sculptures and arranged them in an overall installation.
With his constant search for the beautiful in the everyday, his non-elite vision of art and his dogged resistance to the fashionable, Schnyder has created an artistic work of timeless resonance. The exhibition welcomes visitors with a typical Schnyder tightrope walk between kitsch, humour, provocation and seriousness, and invites them to an intense encounter with his artistic cosmos. The Kunsthalle Bern shows the current work of Jean-Frédéric Schnyder from 25.2. – 15.5.2022. Together, the two exhibitions provide the most comprehensive encounter with his work as yet in Bern.
