Marc Bauer

Press release

Opening: Thursday, January 16, 6 - 8 pm

L’Avènement, January 2025, marks Marc Bauer’s fourth solo exhibition at Galerie Peter Kilchmann and his first project in its Parisian space. Winner of the Meret Oppenheim Prize (2020), the Swiss artist unveils over thirty new works, combining drawings on paper, paintings with surprising silhouettes, and an immersive sound installation created in collaboration with Thomas Kuratli, aka Pyrit. Through portraits imbued with vulnerability, landscapes at the boundary between reality and dream, and intimate scenes steeped in palpable melancholy, Bauer continues his exploration of memory and resistance, drawing from historical testimonies to question the contemporary era. The exhibition invites viewers to rediscover his artistic language, where color flourishes more than ever, while traversing a universe where introspection and engagement intertwine.
