Eamon O'Kane
ONEIRIC SPACES 26 Sep 2024 - 29 Mar 2025 The idea that there must be a place somewhere, a space where happiness in life is in the air, so to speak, is ingrained in most people. We usually look for this place in the unknown, in a paradise that cannot be localised. But some also believe that people can... Read more -
Barbara Ellmerer
Symbiosis 20 Sep - 16 Nov 2024 The œuvre of Swiss artist Barbara Ellmerer seamlessly merges her curiosity for the natural sciences with an intensive exploration of the medium of painting.

Bryan Adams
EXPOSED 8 Jun - 14 Sep 2024 Taylor Swift embraces her guitar; Mick Jagger roars energetically and even Her Majesty the Queen smiles from ear to ear as she demurely sits next to her pair of wellies – they may all be personalities that couldn‘t be more different, yet they have all been captured in portraits by...

Myriam Holme
Recent Works 22 Mar - 1 Jun 2024 The œuvre of German artist Myriam Holme consciously breaks with tradition and is chiefly characterised by deliberate paradoxes: the artist’s metal works, for example, have clearly been created using great force, bending and deforming the material – and yet they have a delicate appearance, seemingly light as a feather. Holme... Read more -
Michel Comte
C'est Paris 5 Mar - 25 May 2024 The Swiss artist Michel Comte was born in 1954 and can look back on a long and successful career: Comte works as a photographer for major magazines such as Vogue and Vanity Fair and has collaborated with luxury brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Gianfranco Ferre, BMW, Ferrari, Hennessy, Hermes,...

Eamon O'Kane
The Nature of Things 4 Jul - 9 Sep 2023 Eamon O‘Kane‘s paintings, drawings, and prints are fluid engagements with modernity. Using acrylic, oil paint, spray paint, or silkscreen, the artist creates enticing views of interiors and exteriors. Landscapes, Skyscapes and Poolscapes intertwine to form harmonious constellations. The Irish-born artist works serially. For example, the new exhibition presents, among other... Read more -
Jessica Craig-Martin
Earthly Delights 3 Jun - 26 Aug 2023 In her exhibition Earthly Delights, the American artist Jessica Craig-Martin lays open the absurd world of the rich and beautiful. This world reveals itself not only as a source of amazement but one that also appeals to the voyeuristic side of our interest in the human condition. In her photographs,... Read more -
Caetano de Almeida
Recent Work 10 Mar - 20 May 2023 Parakeets, honeycombs, chickens, New York City, and textiles: At first glance, these might all seem to be unrelated themes encountered in the latest works by Brazilian artist Caetano de Almeida - but indeed, only at first glance. This is because the works you see here in the Recent Works exhibition... Read more -
Michael Craig-Martin
Birds of Paradise 24 Nov 2022 - 4 Mar 2023 The artist Michael Craig-Martin (born in Dublin in 1941) has been immersed in a world of industrially manufactured objects since the 1970s. Since then, he has continuously enlarged and updated this universe of objects, using them to explore the aesthetics of contemporary consumer society everywhere. In retrospect, one can say...

Joan Hernández Pijuan
Obras del 1980 – 2005 2 Sep - 19 Nov 2022 Is it possible to paint silence? Or the feel of wide-open space? In his life’s work, the Catalan artist Joan Hernández Pijuan (1931-2005) set himself this task – one that seems unlikely to be mastered: he wanted to paint the unpaintable. He succeeded in creating images that enthuse and inspire... Read more -
Ian Davenport
Mirrors and Light 3 Jun - 16 Jul 2022 Bright, powerful lines of paint flow down an aluminium sheet in long vertical trails, creating a clean, dynamic pattern. The bottom edge of the aluminium “canvas” is slightly curved, allowing the colours to spread out here, intermingling and forming psychedelic puddles – and hence the images get their name: Puddle...

Nigel Hall
Through Clouds 12 Mar - 14 May 2022 Should one just stand reverently before them? When it comes to Nigel Hall’s sculptures, that’s not the best way to appreciate them. Instead, you must walk all around them, exploring them from every angle. These are works of art brought to life by the experience of movement. They embody the... Read more -

Rosana Ricalde
Trama e Urdidura – Weft and Warp 17 Sep - 20 Nov 2021 Life is made up of stories. Incessantly, we tell the story of who we are, who we were, who we will be – whether in conversation with others, or only silently, to ourselves. These stories weave the threads of our existence. In the ancient myths, this weaving took place quite... Read more -
Barbara Ellmerer
Sense of Science. Paintings – Book Launch 22 - 24 Jun 2021 When an apple falls to the ground, we see the effect of gravity. But not all laws of nature are so obvious. The painter Barbara Ellmerer takes invisible principles from physics, biology and cosmology as a starting point to transfer them into pictures. She sends us into a realm of... Read more -
Andrew James Ward
Night Walks 1 Jun - 24 Jul 2021 Vases are more than just pretty vessels that you use to decorate the living room, whether brimming with flowers or not. Instead, vases are full of magic – something Andrew James Ward learned early on at the age of 6 to be exact. That year, his grandfather brought home a... Read more -

Paul Hosking, Eamon O‘Kane, Claude Viallat 16 Mar - 22 May 2021 In a unique dialogue between the three different artists, you will discover the mirror works of Paul Hosking, the paintings of Eamon O'Kane and the world-famous artworks of Claude Viallat. Read more -
Barbara Ellmerer
New Paintings 24 Nov 2020 - 16 Jan 2021 Light, wispy shapes call to mind clouds or eddies in a stream, ripples or distant hills. A green like a quote from a meadow. Vertical structures that could be buildings: a lighthouse, perhaps – but a lighthouse that radiates darkness. And in between it all, the grainy expanse of unprimed... Read more -
Eamon O'Kane
Ideal Homes. Selected Paintings 2004 - 2020 11 Sep - 7 Nov 2020 Is it possible to build or construct true bliss? In his novel “Corrections” (1975), Austrian author Thomas Bernhard (1931-1989) tells the story of a man named Roithamer, who wants to build a cone-shaped house for his sister, expecting the house to be a locus of bliss for its inhabitants. Most... Read more -
Donald Sultan
Black and White and Color. New Works 31 Jan 2020 - 25 Apr 2021 It was a sprig of mimosa blossoms from southern France that inspired Donald Sultan’s latest and very powerful series of visual works. While the mimosa plant is the emblem of sensitivity and delicate fragility, Sultan creates his Mimosas from coarse and heavy industrial materials such as roofing tar and linoleum.... Read more -
Howard Hodgkin
Memories 22 Nov 2019 - 25 Jan 2020 Bright ochre-yellow dots dance on the painted surface – sandy motes floating in a beam of sunlight – next to a field of smooth, brilliant ultra-marine. A few colours and gestures conjure up a summer’s day at the seaside: the calm expanse of water beneath the sun; the warm expanse... Read more -
Claude Viallat
Oeuvres récentes 30 Aug - 2 Nov 2019 The painter Claude Viallat is a resident of Nîmes, the city of his birth in southern France, where (non-lethal) bullfighting is a venerable tradition. Exploring the boundaries of convention, his tool of artistic renewal over the past fifty years has been a stencil. This may be rather unexpected given that... Read more -
Sue Arrowsmith
Let the wind blow through your heart 7 Jun - 13 Jul 2019 The glow of soft sunlight filtering through leafy trees. The constant, yet ever changing play of light and shade in a gentle breeze: brief moments like these may induce powerful feelings of being alive, of happiness. It is such moments that Sue Arrowsmith captures in her paintings. Light is love,... Read more -
Michel Comte
Icons 8 Mar - 18 May 2019 Shadowy shoulders and neckline and a dramatic headpiece frame a familiar face: is it really her? Michel Comte presents the supermodel Naomi Campbell as a mysterious diva from the Charleston era. As dark waves cascading down either side of her face and one of her hands holds a cigarette, she...

Paul Hosking
Parallax 31 Aug - 10 Nov 2018 A mirror reflects an exact image of the space in front of it, albeit with minute and fascinating differences. In Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass , and What Alice Found There , the young protagonist cannot help herself wondering what she might find in Looking-Glass House: “I’m sure it’s...

Ralf Petres
Flying Balances 20 Apr - 2 Jun 2018 The eye can never get enough of the images in the Yangmei (Chinese Balls) series. Many fruits of the strawberry tree gleam intensely red and enticingly among shiny leaves, yet appear to resist the gaze. The twigs, from which the leaves and fruit hang suspended, vanish into a mysterious white... Read more -
Nigel Hall
From Memory 2 Feb - 14 Apr 2018 Nigel Hall enjoys walking in landscape. He has honed his perception of the world on countless walks, not only in Chile’s vast empty deserts, but also among the harshly beautiful crags in Switzerland’s Engadine Valley, or under the dome of intense light in the French Mediterranean. Drawing inspiration from the... Read more -
Barbara Ellmerer
Atomjumps 17 Nov 2017 - 27 Jan 2018 Pink hills, blue dales: the forms in Atomjumps , Barbara Ellmerer’s new series of paintings, are soft and quite definitely libidinous. Round, flowing and supple, they evoke warm, lazily lounging human bodies. The tonality of cool pinks or dull blue-grey-purples, however, is pale and insipid, as if cold and strong... Read more -
Caetano de Almeida
Recent Work 25 Aug - 28 Oct 2017 The bright fuchsia red colour is unusual but the patterning is a clear allusion to coffee-house chairs and their woven cane seat panels. The characteristic grid-like patterns in the small-format acrylic paintings evoke a world of ease and elegance, of fragrant coffee, leisurely conversations and rustling newspapers. And yet there...

Jessica Craig-Martin
Social Security 17 Jun - 15 Jul 2017 Jessica Craig-Martin sees things. Her lens reveals hairline cracks in the carefully structured surfaces of self-presentation. Taken at fund-raisers, gala events and dinner parties held for the “lucky few”, her images isolate details that reveal a bigger picture, as the viewer follows clues of soft furs and hard jewels, sequins...

Donald Sultan
Button Down Modernism 20 Jan - 1 Apr 2017 Evoking sportswear and activity, the exhibition title Button Down Modernism implies the wide range of associations that have rendered Donald Sultan’s work so complex and compelling. Born 1951 in Asheville, North Carolina, the artist now lives and works in New York city. Conveying his reflections on art history and the... Read more -
Sue Arrowsmith
Waiting for the Moon 18 Nov 2016 - 11 Jan 2017 Natural forms and the exploration of the relationship between light and darkness are the main characteristics of British artist Sue Arrowsmith’s artworks. Using acrylic or watercolour, she creates mesmerising marks that cross the surface of her paintings, these twist and intertwine, creating energetic compositions. During her education at Goldsmiths College,... Read more -
Michael Craig-Martin
Present Tense 26 Aug - 5 Nov 2016 First thing in the morning, a coffee on the hop. An espresso from the coffee pod-machine delivers a lunch-time energy boost. Against our best diet intentions, we snack on French fries churned out by a global fast-food chain. In the evening, should the need arise, a handy pep pill will... Read more -
Ian Davenport
Cadence 15 Apr - 16 Jul 2016 Stripes are Ian Davenport’s trademark. Multi-coloured stripes that vibrate with energy and intensity. Contiguous vertical stripes that run down the pictorial plane. However his stripes are more than simple lines of colour, and his large paintings hugely dramatic. Standing in front of them, we can see them shimmer and flutter.... Read more -

Katja Loher
Where do Things in Dreams go? 29 Jan - 12 Mar 2016 To be in a bubble may imply existing in blissful seclusion. Bubbles also signify a time/space of prosperity, hope, and dreams. However, it is a truism that bubbles can burst. Despite the candid nature of the question in the title of this exhibition, it is not so with the bubble-worlds... Read more -

Howard Hodgkin
28 Aug - 25 Oct 2015 If Sir Howard Hodgkin does not wish to be an abstract painter, he may wish to be a poetic one. Because, even though patterns and rules apply, poetry is never abstract. His paintings are poems in colour, an incandescence that evokes India, a country Hodgkin has been exploring since the... Read more -

Ralf Peters
Keen Insight 20 Mar - 16 May 2015 Since 1998 the medium of choice for Ralf Peters, a concept artist based in Lüneburg, Germany, has been photography. Rather than being true reflections of reality, many of his works feature ordinary subjects and scenes that have been altered in subtle ways to suit the artist's personal aesthetic. Also, rather...

Barbara Ellmerer
Kosmics 17 Jan - 15 Mar 2015 In a tender gesture the brush gingerly touches the canvas, feeling the fabric and sliding on, careful not to exert too much pressure. Calmly it applies just enough paint to create a translucent effect. We are familiar with the first, tentative encounters of new lovers, whose seismograph hands explore their... Read more -
Caetano de Almeida
Recent Works 29 Aug - 25 Oct 2014 The large-scale canvases by Brazilian artist Caetano de Almeida owe their vibrancy as much to their structures as to their luminous colours. In Beugler, 2013 thread-like lines weave a potentially endless colourful grid. The carefully controlled order is disrupted, however, by tangles of filaments erring about three rectangular spaces. If,... Read more -

Jessica Craig-Martin, Bahk Seon Ghi, Donald Sultan, Claude Viallat 22 Jul - 22 Aug 2014 Ist Mode Kunst oder Kunst Mode? Spätestens seit diesem Jahr ist klar: Kunst ist Mode ist Kunst und untrennbar miteinander verbunden. Zahlreiche Designer liessen sich für Ihre Kollektionen von Gemälden weltberühmter Künstler inspirieren. Jelmoli gelingt es jetzt erstmals, hochkarätige Kunst mit der kommerziellen Welt zu verbinden. Ab 23. August 2014... Read more -
Rosana Ricalde
O Silêncio é Ouro 13 Jun - 12 Jul 2014 Brazilian artist Rosana Ricalde uses the word as image. Born in Niterói, Brazil in 1971 and educated in Engraving at the School of Fine Arts of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, the artist is still influenced by engraving through the discipline it taught her. Her work is not... Read more -
Nigel Hall & Manijeh Yadegar
9 May - 7 Jun 2014 Artist couples are not uncommon in the art world - Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely, Sophie Taeuber and Hans Arp or Sonia and Robert Delaunay, to name but a few. For the first time, Galerie Andres Thalmann is dedicating an exhibition to the work of an artist couple.... Read more -
Guido Baselgia
Light Fall 21 Mar - 3 May 2014 Guido Baselgia is a photographer. But what pulls him is not the naturalistic reproduction of a landscape. Shouldering his large-format camera, he invests heavily in his works, the result of lonely marches across empty landscapes. In all weather, in complete silence and isolation he communes with what he sees, tenaciously... Read more -
Donald Sultan
Recent Work 14 Jan - 15 Mar 2014 The painter Donald Sultan is a key figure in contemporary art. Having completed his studies in Chicago, he left for New York in the mid-1970s. The city was a vibrant art metropolis where many contrasting branches of contemporary art intersected and overlapped, including Abstract Expressionism (Jackson Pollock, for example), Minimalism...

Claude Viallat
Oeuvres Récentes 15 Nov - 21 Dec 2013 A renowned French artist and co-founder of France‘s avant-garde movement, Support-Surface, Claude Viallat takes an unconventional approach to painting. He has put stretcher and canvas aside, preferring instead to use more unusual supports such as all kinds of fabrics. In a career spanning over forty years, he has not only... Read more -
Joan Hernández Pijuan
Des de la Finestra 30 Aug - 26 Oct 2013 Simple, stark, primordial, unpretentious – these are some of the adjectives used to describe the work of Joan Hernández Pijuan, comments intended to express sincere recognition of a unique approach to painting. It is impossible to squeeze this artist into any one of the various avant-garde styles. Having created abstract... Read more -

Drawings 1967 - 1992, Recent Paintings & Prints 18 Jan - 16 Mar 2013 The timelessness of the works by world-renowned artist Michael Craig-Martin is astonishing. His concise contour drawings present ordinary objects, some of them interlocking, others in isolation. Combining traditions from European and American art, as well as the two different techniques of drawing and painting, his subject matter and visual idiom... Read more -
Nigel Hall
Southern Shade 3 Nov - 21 Dec 2012 Southern Shade – the title of the exhibition at Galerie Andres Thalmann – refers to one of the recent sources of inspiration for renowned British artist Nigel Hall RA.

Recent Paintings, Works on Paper and Prints 31 Aug - 27 Oct 2012 Ian Davenport, born in Kent, England, in 1966, is as fascinated by stained-glass windows as by Vincent van Gogh‘s sunflowers or The Simpsons. „I‘m not interested in the narrative aspect, only in the colours,“ the artist explains his eclectic tastes. Colour plays a pivotal role in his work, in which... Read more -

Standard Excess 23 Mar - 5 May 2012 “One is never so naked as when dressed for a party“, artist Jessica Craig-Martin notes in an interview. It is a statement immediately reflected in her subjects. Craig-Martin’s works depict scenes from social events – cocktail parties, charity fundraisers, and glamorous galas at the Cannes Film Festival or the Venice... Read more -

Bio - Fiction 28 Oct - 23 Dec 2011 Pale pink petals emerge from pale green foliage. Lengua , an oil painting by Swiss artist Barbara Ellmerer (born in 1956, lives in Zurich) seems to show a pleasant view of nature – if it weren’t for the inferior parts of the flower that appear to belong to a monstrous...

Bahk Seon Ghi
Endless Enumeration in Space 26 Aug - 22 Oct 2011 Korean artist Bahk Seon Ghi creates sculptures from pieces of charcoal suspended from nylon filaments, everyday objects or simple geometric shapes based on sketches made in an apparently architectural approach. Bahk fascinates his viewers with his large, site-specific installations. He has created tables, stairs, circles and picture frames, from which... Read more -
Ralf Peters
Fotoarbeiten 1998 - 2010 27 May - 16 Jul 2011 Ralf Peters does not consider himself as a card-holding photographer but emphatically claims to use his photographs as mere material: photography is the medium whereby he hopes to make meaningful statements on reality and its medial presentation. To achieve this challenges the viewer to be his partner – as an... Read more -
Howard Hodgkin
As Time Goes By 27 Aug - 23 Oct 2010 Howard Hodgkin is one of Britain’s leading contemporary artists. His vibrantly colourful works oscillate between figuration and abstraction; they visualise and evoke feelings and memories. Hodgkin’s latest giant work, As Time Goes By , combines his exuberant, fluid painterly gesture with great spontaneity and verve, and is a beguiling masterpiece.... Read more -
Erwin Blumenfeld
Vintage 14 Jun - 17 Jul 2010 Erwin Blumenfeld’s arrival in Paris in 1936 marked the beginning of his career as a professional photographer.

Suzanne McClelland
Toy 16 Apr - 5 Jun 2010 New York artist Suzanne McClelland occasionally creates expansive „walk-in-paintings“ such as her 1992 piece at the Whitney Museum in New York. At Andres Thalmann Gallery she presents her paintings and monotypes superimposed on uniquely crafted wallpapers. McClelland juxtaposes the exuberant formal laguages of various media and thereby creates a pulsating... Read more -
Donald Sultan
Recent Work 23 Oct - 23 Dec 2009 Donald Sultan has transformed the intimacy of still-life paintings into weighty plasticity. Flowers or other objects seem to float on his sculptural, pitch-black tar supports. The saturated blackness of the ground not only emphasises the fragility of the ephemeral, it also produces an undercurrent that seems to pull the viewer... Read more -
Joan Hernández Pijuan
Hommage à Joan Hernández Pijuan 28 Aug - 17 Oct 2009 In his late works, Joan Hernández Pijuan undertakes nothing less than to paint unfathom- able space – the void. The artist often graphically inscribes a frame onto the painted mo- nochrome surface of the image. The picture within the picture emerges. Mostly, the interior area remains empty, though occasionally, archetypal... Read more -
