ANDREAS RÜTHI: PAPER PLATES & POISONED PORCELAIN
Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea
Sat 9 Feb-Sun 31 Mar
Swiss artist Andreas Rüthi has made his home here in Wales, with a number of well-received exhibitions in the past few years. His most recent was at Oriel Plas Glyn-y-Weddw in Pwllheli last year – a compilation of works titled A Place On The Table, inspired by the Nantgarw and Swansea porcelain collection at the gallery.
This month, he returns to the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, having also displayed his work there last year, to showcase an assortment of paintings which this time is based around Glynn Vivian’s collection of porcelain. Rüthi demonstrates his unique painting skills and techniques through incredibly colourful works, thus revealing the hallucinogenic power of colour, as well as exploring innovative ways of creating still-life artworks.
Born in Zurich, Rüthi went on to study Fine Art in London and Amsterdam, before settling in the UK and in France. Since 1996, his avant-garde art collections have been exhibited in the UK and internationally. He was a Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at the University Of South Wales from 2008 to 2017, and his solo and joint exhibitions continue to pop up at various Welsh art galleries.
