About the artist:
Albert Merz was born in 1942 in Unterägeri (Switzerland) and grew up there. After training at the St. Michael teacher training college, he teaches at various schools. At the age of 30 he started an artistic education in Lucerne. Since 1980 he lives and works as a freelance artist in Berlin, where he joined the 'Neue Wilde' ('Nieuwe Wilden')
Albert Merz is an established Swiss artist whose works are featured in public exhibitions across Europe. His work is influenced by a dynamic cast of artists such as Ferdinand Hodler, Joseph Beuys and Sigmar Polke. Using a calculated process, Merz focuses on rendering textured objects contrasted with wild bursts of color. His paintings are interested in transforming archetypes into signs and symbols and achieving an overall sharp and intriguing aesthetic.
Merz about his work:
"Man is a mystery and has his secrets. He is terrible, vulnerable, longing and in need of love, constantly looking for the meaning of life. In my work I try to find signs of this."
