Adrian Schiess Werke 1978 – 2012
Adrian Schiess (b. 1959) rose to fame with his "flat paintings," panels painted with automotive paint that are presented lying on the floor. Their glossy horizontal surfaces serve as image carriers, mirroring their surroundings and sparkling with reflections. In parallel with these works, Schiess has put together a prolific body of paintings and photographs that are now presented comprehensively in this sumptuous catalog, which accompanies a exhibition at Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur. It reveals the artist's engagement with diverse manifestations of nature, which in the course of a continuous process he translates into the material language of painting. The various work groups display the artist's great openness to an incessant questioning of the nature of the image. He lays bare the processes by which the works are created and puts up for discussion the various manifestations of painting in space and time and in changing light conditions.
