Aurèle Oggier

The exhibition features overpaintings and collages on paper, as well as small- and large-format paintings. Works from different series are combined and placed in new contexts. A central focus is on overpaintings of historical souvenir postcard leporellos. In the past, postcard leporellos captured impressions of travels and excursions. Aurèle Oggier adopted this format during the COVID-19 pandemic, when travel was not possible, and used the small postcards as a canvas. The miniatures depict, among other things, various types of dwellings—in some cases, traces of the original photographs are still visible, while in others they are not.Curated by Luzia Carlen. We cordially invite you to the opening reception on Saturday, August 14, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Luzia Carlen will speak. The artist will be present at the gallery on August 21 and September 4.
