Discover the contemporary work of A.Friedli

Versatile artist lives and creates in Geneva. Painting, drawing, photo sculpture, creation of objects and furniture.... A specialized educator by profession for nearly 35 years, he is self-taught in the art. He has always been passionate about art, which he practices in different forms and with various materials. Its concept is to imagine and then create something from nothing, from this secret light coming from the chaos of matter. He wants to share with the viewer what these large materials made of pigments, stones, steel or wood want to tell us in order to create unique works, fitting into an urban, private space or as part of a interior architecture. The artist began by creating lamps from recycled materials around the age of 18 (exhibition of four lamps at the Salon of Young Swiss Designers in 1986) then discovered painting at the age of 25. He constantly explores new themes and his specificity is to paint only with a spatula. He discovered sculpture alone by creating small wooden statuettes and enriched his technique by completing an internship at Arco Arte in Carrara, Italy in 2016.
