02/16/2024-06/02/2024

The painting by Beat Fasel s'inspire souvent de l'esthétique singulière qu'un vieillissement naturel ou des traces d'utilization laissent sur les objects... taches, décolorations, éraflures, croûtes, fissures, cicatrices. The "patine", métaphore du changement perpétuel, is a leitmotif that traverses the work of the Fribourgeois artist. These réalisations récentes en sont une manifestation renouvelée, légère et expressive.

Beat Fasel's paintings often find their inspiration in the special aesthetics that traces of use or natural aging leave on objects … Spots, discolorations, scratches, crusts, cracks, scars. The «Patina» as a metaphor for constant change, runs like a leitmotif through the Freiburg artist's entire work. His new works are refreshingly relaxed and colorful.
