Swiss artist Chris Rüesch, born in 1966, grew up in Australia, living and working in Zurich. The artist uses acrylic paints in rich tones and lets himself be guided by intuition when painting. It fascinates him to change colors almost imperceptibly, to let them merge. This creates relatively calm surfaces on which the eye likes to linger. It is also fascinating when he mixes sand into the paint, and so in the picture, a structure is created that seems to change depending on the incidence of light and appears very lively.
