The Galleria SACCHETTI shows for the first time in Ticino works by the German artist Michael Schuster. Dried and pressed sycamore leaves serve as the material for Schuster’s artistic work. Using a scalpel, he carefully and expertly cuts out figurative silhouettes from single leaves, which are then applied to paper or assembled in the form of wall installations. Thematically, Schuster deals with the preservation and retention of memories. His cut-outs are based on photographs, including snapshots from his family album, which he transforms from the personal into the universal, bringing them to life in another medium, shifted in time and space. Schuster lives and works in Berlin.
During the vernissage, Erry & Kenzo will perform music with the guitar and the hang.
The Galleria SACCHETTI shows for the first time in Ticino works by the German artist Maximilian Verhas. Since 1985, the Berlin-based sculptor Verhas has created works in bronze, which he calls rolling bodies. By gently hitting on a smooth surface, Verhas’ abstract sculptures can be set in motion. The inherent possibility of localized change in the sculptures and the associated polydirectional visibility determine their aesthetic value. Due to the continuous variations in point of view, the viewer’s perception is stimulated and the limited understanding of sculptural works is overcome.

The Galleria SACCHETTI shows new sculptures by the Swiss artist Daniel Eggli. He studied at the Hochschule der Künste (ZHdK) in Zurich before beginning his career as a freelance artist in 2001.
„My sculptural works are committed to figuration, whereby individual figures, as well as larger ensembles of figures, are worked out of solid wood with a chainsaw. Stylistically, these works are close to abstract naturalism. In terms of content, they are about the representation of characters which are often ironically overdrawn. The work is always based on the observation of people. The roughness and brittleness of the material, as well as its resistance, are always a challenge when it comes to the depiction of human or animal figures.”
During the vernissage, Daniel Eggli will work life in the courtyard of the Galleria and if desired create a personalized portrait sculpture of you.

Together with friends, customers and art lovers, we would like to toast the year 2018, which was varied and exciting for us.
The Galleria SACCHETTI will be showing selected works from this year’s exhibitions from 21 November until 29 December.
During the aperitif, the following artists will be present: Felicita Bianchi Duyne, Petra Gabriele Dannehl, Alice Trepp, Gregorio Esposito and Stephan Spicher.
The paintings by Felicita Bianchi Duyne, whose pictorial language tends towards abstraction, unfold their poetic effect due to their sensitive handling of various natural materials such as natural pigments, earth, sand or lime. Bianchi Duyne lives and works in Ponte Capriasca/Ticino.
Stephan Spicher’s drawings and paintings, which combine the linear with colour surfaces, revolve around the question of what forces stand behind all living things, what energies effect the permanent change of all that exists. Spicher lives and works in Basel and Maggia/Ticino.
Come and visit the Galleria Berno SACCHETTI AG at the WOPART in Lugano. The gallery shows works by Gregorio Esposito (CH/I), Rodja ro* Galli, (CH), Mela Kaltenegger (A), Marlis Spielmann (CH) and Michael Schuster (DE).
For more information about the art fair please check www.wopart.eu
Marlis Spielmann’s working method is characterized by an experimental and unbiased handling of materials and techniques. With needle and thread, scissors and paper, brush and palette, she creates works full of humor and depth. In her paper cuts, embroideries, paintings and objects the human figure is emphasized. Events in the surrounding environment, her own observations and experiences as well as images originating from the artist’s fantasy flow into one another.
Her works have been shown nationally and internationally at solo and group shows, lastly in spring 2018 within the Sino-Swiss-Art Exchange Exhibition at Bobao Art Museum in Beijing and at Wenlin Art Museum in Kunming.
