Kalo Mina! Werner Widmer calls you in September to the table where he serves new works from the series "A Pinch of Passion".

 

Passion is the fire that is needed to create objects from solid rock or fragile sugar. And passion is the reason why–even only for a short period of time–we do exist. It's with passion that Werner Widmer extracts from dead material figurative objects that are charged with sensuousness. Arranged as a still life they refer to the transience of our existence: Memento mori! Remember you are mortal! On the table are olives, Parmigiano and Taralli, much-loved ingredients for an aperitive and a dash of dolce vita. They let us forget for a short moment the finiteness of life.

 

Werner Widmer's work is characterised by a fine, ambiguous subtleness in which he integrates visual and tactile elements. In the last years he has expanded the choice of material from sugar to wood and marble. Werner Widmer lives and works in Eschlikon CH and Athens GR.
