Uwe Wittwer: Glass Is Cracking Silently [French]

By GAITZSCH MARIE

A retrospective of watercolorist and oil painter Uwe Wittwer.

This book showcases some of Swiss artist Uwe Wittwer's most impressive works over his decades-long career, offering an immersive experience of his ongoing creative journey. Working in both watercolor and oil, Wittwer creates a delicate interplay between real and imagined, past and present, inviting reflection on authenticity and the shifting nature of memory. While many artists use watercolor as a preparatory tool, Wittwer elevates it to the status of oil painting. References to art history, personal memories, cinema, colonial themes, and the impact of war run through his work. His compositions often symbolize the erasure and loss caused by war.
