Wir leben in unserer kleinen Welt – jeder für sich. Wir gehen unseren täglichen Verpflichtungen nach und versuchen unsere Gedanken so zu lenken, dass die Welt für uns funktioniert. Alles was wir tun und erleben bauen wir so zusammen, dass wir nachts gut schlafen können.
Dauernd sind wir auf der Suche nach Ablenkung, Anerkennung, Zuneigung und Liebe - kleinen Häppchen, die uns gut fühlen lassen. Was wenn diese kleine Welt zusammenbricht, wenn sie immer wieder aufs Neue bedroht wird? Das aktuelle Weltgeschehen hat mich dazu veranlasst diese Bilder zu malen. Auch wenn ich mich möglichst nicht mit Pressemitteilungen und schlechten Nachrichten beschäftige sind doch ein paar Eindrücke durchgesickert. Es sind Gesichter die Geschichten erzählen. Ausdrücke die beeindrucken. Kleine Welten die bedroht, zusammengebrochen oder entrückt worden sind. Blicke in Augen von fragenden, abgelöschten, reizüberfluteten, entschlossenen, und missbrauchten Kindern. Sie sind unsere Zukunft. Was wird aus ihnen werden? Was ist aus uns geworden? Ist das der Preis für unseren Wohlstand?
Osi, whose real name is Peter Oswald, is a contemporary Swiss artist who completed his basic artistic training with the Zurich painter and graphic artist Paul Leber and at the School of Design in Zurich. His work as a graphic artist took him to the painting room of the Zurich Opera House at an early age. Fascinated by the large prospectuses and the painterly skills, he sought employment at the opera house in order to learn the trade.
He then worked as a freelance theater painter for films, museums and gastronomic experiences in Switzerland and abroad. This earned him a living, but he found absolute freedom in front of blank canvases. For him, they were the unexplored universe of non-existence. A single brushstroke was enough to create being. A journey into the unknown begins as soon as the primer is applied, allowing you to understand more about what moves you with each layer.
He finds his inspiration in nature, in photographs that touch him and everything that has an effect on him. His aim is to create a realistic depth effect with as little as possible. He does not seek perfection in detail, but in painterly expression, in simplicity. He is driven by the fascination of light and shadow as well as the process of what is and what wants to be. The blending of these different influences gives him insight into his soul and offers him the opportunity to create harmony. However, the higher goal behind this is development, the constant striving to become even better, even freer and more perfect.
