Hansruedi Kammermann

Hansruedi Kammermann grew up in Lucerne. Long journeys gave him insights into the cultural and traditional characteristics and riches of indigenous peoples. His exploration of means of expression began to articulate itself in painting. Hans Kammermann has lived and worked with his family in Sessa, Malcantone, for 30 years. In Hansruedi Kammermann's work, the harmony between man and nature is reassembled: It is newly found unity, it is the figure that reconciles itself with the grounds. Above all, it is a falling into the unconscious, almost like a dream. Moreover, the artist's fading, illuminating world is like a constant undulation between sleep and waking, between imagination and reality, between dream vision and everyday life. Hansruedi Kammermann chooses the female figure as an intimate, hidden voice in order to give nature back its vital and creative power. He points to her connection with the earth, with the subterranean worlds that rebel against the dogmatic structures of the social context, against formal and worldly institutions. And this context finds its continuation in the infinite variation of the play of relationships. Hansruedi Kammermann has been invited to countless exhibitions in Switzerland, but also in neighboring countries.
