Katja Lienhard / Raphael Roth

Katja Lienhard’s works are a celebration of lightness. For over three decades, she has been creating welded and soldered wire structures in her studio using chrome-nickel steel, copper, nonwoven fabric, and found objects. Her reliefs and sculptures, often featuring moving elements, wings, or joints, unfold a dynamic of their own. They playfully reach into the space, as if drawing the viewer directly into their spell. Transparency and rhythmic lines lend her constructions an almost floating harmony—as if they were woven from nothing, yet possessed of infinite presence. Lienhard’s works are not merely objects, but invitations: They challenge us to see the world through different eyes, to sense the void between the lines, and to grasp the poetry of the invisible.

In contrast is Raphael Roth, whose artistic journey since the 1990s has been shaped by a passion for graffiti and painting. For him, the spray can is not just a tool, but part of his identity. What once emerged in secret—and often illegally—has long since evolved into a distinctive, powerful visual language. Roth’s work oscillates between calligraphy and street art, between traditional painting and urban rebellion. His works build bridges: they connect the urban with the artistic, the street with the studio, and the past with the present. In every line and every color gradient, one can sense the energy of the city, the dedication to the craft, and an unbroken curiosity for new forms of expression.
