Swiss artist Pierre Schwerzmann (b. 1947, Aubonne) creates paintings that captivate through the vibrating interplay of color and surface. His smooth, seemingly stable canvases generate both fascination and unease, drawing and deflecting the viewer’s gaze in continuous motion. For Schwerzmann, painting is an act of thought in movement — a physical and mental experience that engages both body and mind.
