Come and discover the remarkable world of celebrated Swiss artist Franz Gertsch. This exhibition offers an inviting look at Gertsch’s incredibly detailed and moving vision, featuring a major painting from his famous Patti Smith series alongside a selection of his striking large and medium-scale woodcuts.

There is a wonderful surprise in the apparent simplicity of Gertsch’s work. While his pieces might look like photographs at first glance, they actually reveal a unique process that goes far beyond what a camera can capture. By taking the time to painstakingly transform his materials, he manages to freeze a single, fleeting moment in time. You’ll notice how he plays with effects like motion blur and shifting focus, mimicking the way our eyes naturally adjust to the world around us. It’s a beautiful invitation to slow down and really look.
