Marie-Claude and Jean-Pierre Gyger, Paintings and Drawings

Description

Marie-Claude Gyger ('Marie'), mixed media on wood. Marie is from Neuchâtel and has been living in Tramelan for two years. She can already look back on about twenty exhibitions. With her works, which are sometimes dark and serious, sometimes colorful and mischievous, she offers us an unusual view of both our inner world and the world in which we live. She describes her work better than anyone else: I slowly move forward from small pieces of color. I am inspired by every picture, every nuance, and every emotion, building myself up and digging the trench from which my works emerge. Thus, countless puzzle pieces come together to form new universes that, once placed on my wooden panels, become a mirror of what I am. Stars resting on the blackness of an impenetrable background show how much human vulnerability can surprise and leave others speechless. From happiness to despair is just one step... which I sometimes walk joyfully, sometimes full of anger and doubt. Jean-Pierre Gyger (JP), drawing JP, Marie's husband, probably started drawing before he could speak. Pencils and feathers accompany him everywhere, and every surface seems worthy of a drawing: paper, shopping list, shoebox, electricity bill – nothing escapes his urge to doodle. Unusual perspectives, slips of the tongue, and absurdities of everyday life – every topic is fair game for him to sketch. JP works either with pen and ink or on a digital tablet and occasionally indulges in pastel painting. Besides artistic drawings, he also designs humorous cards and has worked as a press illustrator, notably for the Neuchâtel satire newspaper 'l’Omnibus'.
